Abstract:
The cross-section calculation systematics for nuclear reactions have great importance in describing the particle-induced excitation of nuclei. In this study, for 14-15 MeV of incident neutron energy, it has been suggested new empirical formulae to describe the (n, 2p) reactions cross sections. The new empirical formulae have been obtained for 29≤A≤159, 29≤A≤103 and 133≤A≤159 mass ranges which are dependent on s=(N-Z)/A asymmetry parameter. The asymmetry parameters have been obtained by modifying the original Levkovski formula. Then, EXFOR data has been studied by applying the least square fitting method and (n, 2p) reactions systematics has been revealed. The statistical dependence (R2) of these data was examined in the 29≤A≤159 total mass range. The calculated results from the obtained formulae have been compared with the literature data. The predictions of our formulae are in good agreement with the EXFOR data for 29≤A≤159 and 29≤A≤103 mass range.
