Abstract

The algorithms and basic equations of a novel evaporation model that have been implemented in the program package EVAP15 are detailed. The level density of an excited nucleus is described by the composite Gilbert–Cameron formula with parameter values as suggested by the IAEA working group RIPL-3. Special attention is paid to the cross sections of inverse reactions and, in particular, to those for the interactions of low-energy neutrons with nuclei and for crossing of the Coulomb barrier by low-energy charged particles. The model predictions are compared with a large volume of experimental data on the spectra of particles emitted in the reactions (n, xn), (n, xp), and (n, xα) induced by neutrons with energy near 14 MeV and on the four spectra for the reaction (p, xp) induced by 62-MeV protons.
