Abstract

A new semi-empirical formula with five parameters has been derived to systematize the (n,t) cross-section data of 14.5 MeV neutrons. It is based on the evaporation model and uses the droplet model of Myers and Swiatecki to express the Q (n,t). The behavior of the different terms of the droplet model involved in Q (n,t) was checked individually before choosing the pertinent terms and setting up the formula. This relation leads to the lowest value of χ 2 compared with the existing formulae, when used to correlate the experimental σ (n,t) data for 25 nuclei.
