PROTON ENERGY SPECTRA FROM DEUTERON INDUCED REACTION ON COPPER AT 14,5 MeV DEUTERON ENERGY

Abstract

Double differential cross sections have been measured for light-charged particle production in deuteron-induced reactions on natCu at incident energies of 14.5 MeV. The experiment was performed at the isochronous cyclotron of the Institute of Nuclear Physics (Kazakhstan). Charged particles were detected using a set of Si and CsI detectors from 30◦ to 135◦ , by step of 15◦ . The integral cross-sections were determined by integrating over the angle the double differential cross-sections. Double differential and integral charged particle emission cross-sections have been calculated by the TALYS 1.9 nuclear reaction which code based on a modified version of the exciton model of the pre-equilibrium nuclear decay. Direct, compound, and pre-equilibrium reaction contributions have been determined for the emission of proton particles.
