Abstract

This paper aims the calculations of cross section of the ²⁷Al(n,t)²⁵Mg, ⁵⁰Cr(n,t)⁴⁸V, ⁵⁶Fe(n,t)⁵⁴Mn, ⁵⁸Ni(n,t)⁵⁶Co, ⁶⁴Zn(n,t)⁶²Cu, ⁷⁰Ge(n,t)⁶⁸Ga, ⁹²Mo(n,t)⁹⁰Nb, ¹⁰⁶Cd(n,t)¹⁰⁴Ag and ¹¹⁴Cd(n,t)¹¹²Ag nuclear reactions. These cross section calculations were obtained using the different level density models in ALICE/ASH code. Besides, the cross sections of the investigated reactions at incident energies near 14.6 MeV were predicted by using the empirical formulae suggested in our previous paper and in the literature. Therefore, the predicted nuclear data are compared with the other data taken from the literature.

Keywords: Neutron-induced reaction; Nuclear fusion material; Reaction cross section.
