Proton-Induced Nuclear Reactions on Tellurium Isotopes (125Te, 126Te) at Intermediate Energies (10-100 MeV) Using Code COMPLET
Keywords:
COMPLET, cross-section, exciton, level density, tellurium isotopeAbstract
Theoretical nuclear model predictions were carried out using computer code COMPLET to calculate the excitation function of 125Te(p,xn)124,123,121I, x=2,3,5 and 126Te(p,xn)125,124,123I, x=2-4 reaction channels respectively. The aim of this study is to investigate proton-induced nuclear reactions on Tellurium isotopes (125Te, 126Te) at intermediate energies (10-100MeV) using COMPLET code and EXFOR database based on compound nucleus and pre-equilibrium stage of nuclear reactions. The calculated pre-equilibrium and compound nucleus excitation functions are discussed and compared with the experimental data taken from EXFOR database and indicated a considerable positive and strong correlation as 0.7 ? R < 1 for all six reaction channels. There is a good agreement between theoretical cross-sections and experimental data from the EXFOR data center. This work also demonstrates that for each reaction channels, the low-energy ranges are dominated by the compound nucleus reaction mechanism, whereas the high-energy ranges are dominated by the pre-equilibrium reaction mechanism.
