Abstract
Abstract We explore the applicability of the surrogate reaction ratio method for determining (n,xp) cross sections, where an incoming neutron induces the emission of at least one proton from a nuclear target with a mass range of A ≈ 50−60. These cross sections are relevant for advanced nuclear technologies. Our findings reveal that, under specific conditions, the surrogate reaction ratio method can yield reliable (n,xp) cross sections, similar to its success in determining (n,f) cross sections in actinides. However, not all surrogate reaction pairs meet these conditions across the entire excitation energy range, necessitating careful application of the surrogate reaction ratio method for determining (n,xp) cross sections.
