Abstract:
Cross sections of the 64Zn(n, p)64Cu, natZn(n, x)67Cu, 66Zn(n, 2n)65Zn and 70Zn(n, 2n)69mZn reactions have been measured by using the activation technique at 14.0 MeV neutron energy. The neutrons were produced via the 3H(d, n)4He reaction. The present experimental data illustrated satisfactory agreement with most of the previously reported experimental data. Experimental data are compared with evaluated nuclear data of the CENDL-3.2, ENDF/B-VIII.0, JENDL-5, BROND-3.1 and JEFF-3.3 libraries. Besides, these excitation functions were calculated by using theoretical model of the TALYS-1.96 code from thresholds up to 20 MeV. A group set of parameters was obtained which better reproduce the experimental data than the default parameters.
