Study of trends in cross-section values of primary reactions of most abundant isotope of elements with Z= 6 to 116 induced by 14 MeV neutrons using TALYS code and the EXFOR database
Study was carried out to understand the trends of variation of cross-section values of all possible primary reactions induced by 14 MeV neutrons incident on the most abundant isotope of elements from atomic number 6 to 116. The available nuclear reaction channels and cross-section values of all poss...

| description | Study was carried out to understand the trends of variation of cross-section values of all possible primary reactions induced by 14 MeV neutrons incident on the most abundant isotope of elements from atomic number 6 to 116. The available nuclear reaction channels and cross-section values of all possible primary reactions were obtained using the theoretical values calculated using TALYS nuclear code version 1.96. The trends were explained on the basis of nuclear binding energy curve, the pairing effect and shell effect. Most of the trends show a regular variation except at some points, which give interesting information for the nucleus where trend is irregular. The variation of the available experimental cross-section values obtained from the EXFOR database, if any, was also obtained and compared with the trends obtained from the theoretical values. The discrepancies in the trends of theoretical and experimental cross-section values of various possible reactions were explained on the basis of the possible errors in experiments and the assumptions of the theoretical model of the TALYS nuclear code. |
