Context. Nuclear reaction rates of astrophysical applications are traditionally determined on the basis of HauserFeshbach reaction codes. These codes adopt a number of approximations that have never been tested, such as a simplified width fluctuation correction, the neglect of delayed or multiple-particle emission during the electromagnetic decay cascade, or the absence of the pre-equilibrium c...

TALYS is a software package for the simulation of nuclear reactions below 200 MeV. It used worldwide analysis and prediction based on state-of-art structure reaction models. A general overview implemented physics capabilities given. The mechanisms described are optical model, direct reactions, compound nucleus pre-equilibrium fission. most important models those masses, discrete levels, level d...

Excitation functions of the reactions Zn(p,xn)Ga were measured from their respective thresholds up to 18 MeV , using the conventional stacked-foil technique. The radioactivity was determined via high resolution -ray spectrometry. Nuclear model calculations were performed using the codes, ALICE-IPPE, EMPIRE and TALYS. In some cases, good agreement was found between the experimental and theoreti...

Natural Cu target was irradiated with proton beam in the energy range of 15 to 30 MeV at a beam current of 100 μA for 15 min. In this irradiation radioisotope of 62Zn was produced as a generator and then decayed to Cu radioisotope. The Cu is emitting β+ and known as PET radioisotope. Excitation function of Cu via Cu (p, 2n) Zn, Cu and Cu (d, 3n) Zn reactions were calculated using Alice and Taly...

The irradiation of a thorium target by light charged particles (protons and deuterons) leads to the production of several isotopes of medical interest. Direct nuclear reaction allows the production of Protactinium-230 which decays to Uranium-230 the mother nucleus of Thorium-226, a promising isotope for alpha radionuclide therapy. The fission of Thorium-232 produces fragments of interest like M...

Abstract The interaction of a nucleus with photons plays key role in understanding competition nuclear reactions. photon strength function (PSF) gives the average response to an electromagnetic probe. In this study, estimation is performed mean resonance spacing and radiative width 22 nuclei range A = 46 – 90. calculations for analysis are done TALYS. addition, machine-learning driven approach ...
