REACTION CROSS SECTIONS USING THE STATISTICAL MODEL OF THE COMPOUND NUCLEUS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4209752
The inelastic scattering of neutrons was considered by Hauser and Feshbach and a reaction cross section formula was obtained for the process. Competition from other processes was excluded from the formula since it was developed primarily for application to inelastic scattering of neutrons. The analysis presented is concerned with the minor changes involved When competition from other processes and the possibility of particles other than neutrons as incident and emergent particles are included. The presentation of these modifications of the cross section formula is through a derivation much like that of Hauser and Feshbach for the case in which the statistical model applies to the compound nucleus only.
