Abstract

The measured cross sections of 14 MeV (n,p) reaction for nuclei with mass number larger than 90 are analyzed in terms of the pre-equilibrium exciton model and an effective Q-value, that is derived from a semi-empirical mass formula whose parameters are smooth functions of mass number and are free from fluctuations near closed shells. The deviations from 1.0 of the ratios of experimental to theoretical cross sections calculated using the effective Q-values are markedly reduced as compared with the use of the true Q-values. The use of the effective Q-values also gives a better agreement between the experimental and calculated cross sections in the calculations based on the geometry-dependent hybrid model.
