Excitation Functions Calculations of the Charged Particle-Induced Nuclear Reactions on the 9Be Target

Abstract

In this study, calculation of charged particles induced nuclear reactions of beryllium (9Be) target nuclei have been investigated in the incident proton and alpha at energy range from threshold to 50 MeV. The excitation functions for 9Be target nuclei reactions have been calculated by using PCROSS nuclear reaction calculation code. Weisskopf–Ewing model for equilibrium, calculations and the full exciton and cascade exciton models for pre-equilibrium calculations were used. Also, the semi-empirical calculations for (p,α) reactions have been done by using cross section formula updated with new coefficient developed by Tel et al. (Pramana Indian Acad Sci 74(6):931, 2010). The calculated results were compared with the experimental data for different energy levels ranging from 0.00 to 9.65 MeV taken from the literature.
