(He-3,xn) Reaction Cross-Section Calculations for the Structural Fusion Material Ta-181 in the Energy Range of 14-75 MeV

OZDOGAN, Hasan/0000-0001-6127-9680; SARPUN, Ismail Hakki/0000-0002-9788-699XWOS: 000341088600009The theoretical neutron-production cross-sections produced by Ta-181(He-3,xn)Re184-x reactions (x = 1-7) for structural fusion material Ta-181 in He-3-induced reactions have been performed in the incident He-3 energy range of 14-75 MeV. Reaction cross-sections, based on theoretical pre-equilibrium nuclear reaction models, have been calculated theoretically by means of the TALYS 1.6 two component exciton, EMPIRE 3.1 exciton, ALICE/ASH geometry dependent hybrid (GDH) and ALICE/ASH hybrid models. The neutron-production cross-section results of the models have been compared with the each other and against the experimental nuclear reaction data (EXFOR). Except the Ta-181(He-3,2n)Re-182 and Ta-181(He-3,7n)Re-177 reactions, the ALICE/ASH cross-section calculations show generally agreement with the experimental values for all reactions used in this study. The ALICE/ASH-GDH model can be suggested, if the experimental data are unavailable or are improbably to be produced because of the experimental troubles.Suleyman Demirel University Scientific Research Projects Coordination UnitSuleyman Demirel University [3748-D2-13]This work has been supported by the Suleyman Demirel University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit (Project No: 3748-D2-13)
