Proton Emission From the Interaction of 7 MeV Energy Protons With 59Co Nucleus

Abstract

The aim of this work was to measure the double differential cross-sections for 59Co(p, xp) reactions at a proton energy of 7 MeV on the 59Co nucleus at the U-150M isochronous cyclotron of the Institute of Nuclear Physics (Kazakhstan). The analysis of the experimental results was carried out on the basis of the exciton model of nuclear decay within the framework of the PRECO-2006 computational code, which describes the transition of an excited system to an equilibrium state. The contributions of the pre-equilibrium, compound, and direct mechanisms are calculated for the formation of the protons energy spectrum.
