Abstract
Neutron cross section calculations for 136Ce(n, 2n)135Ce, 138Ce(n, 2n)137Ce, 140Ce(n, 2n)139Ce, 142Ce(n, 2n)141Ce, 142Nd(n, 2n)141Nd, 144Nd(n, 2n)143Nd, 146Nd(n, 2n)145Nd, 148Nd(n, 2n)147Nd, and 150Nd(n, 2n)149Nd were done in the incident energy range from 10 to 20 MeV. The calculations were performed using three codes TALYS-1.6 for two-component Exciton model, EMPIRE-3.2 Malta for Exciton model, and ALICE/ASH for the Geometry-Dependent Hybrid (GDH) model. The results of model calculations were compared with the available experimental data and also with the evaluated data in the TENDL-2015 (based on the modified TALYS code), ENDF/B-VII.1 libraries. The calculated cross section data were compared with the available experimental data obtained from EXFOR and also compared with semiempirical formulas around 14–15 MeV. The results of model calculation were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data given in literature and semiempirical data around 14–15MeV.
