A new empirical formula simplifies calculating neutron-induced (n,3He) reaction cross sections. This method accurately predicts cross sections at 14-15 MeV using key nuclear parameters and experimental data.
Area of Science:
- Nuclear physics
- Nuclear reaction cross sections
Background:
- Understanding neutron-induced (n,3He) reaction dynamics is crucial.
- Existing methods for calculating cross sections can be complex.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel, straightforward empirical formula for swift computation of (n,3He) reaction cross sections.
- To provide a reliable method for predicting these cross sections within a specific neutron energy range.
Main Methods:
- Derived a new empirical formula by combining existing cross section formulas with experimental data.
- The formula incorporates the A23 parameter, threshold energy (Eth), and incident neutron energy (En).
Main Results:
- The proposed empirical formula provides satisfactory results for (n,3He) reaction cross sections at 14-15 MeV.
- The formula's predictions align well with experimental outcomes.
Conclusions:
- The developed empirical formula offers an efficient and accurate approach for determining (n,3He) reaction cross sections.
- This methodology is particularly useful for neutron energies between 14-15 MeV.
