Consistent nuclear model for compound and precompound reactions with conservation of angular momentum. [14. 6 MeV]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5629757
The exciton model is modified such that it automatically reduces to the usual evaporation formula after equilibrium has been reached. The result is further modified to conserve angular momentum in a form compatible with the Hauser-Feshbach formula. This approach allows a consistent description of intermediate excitations from which tertiary reaction cross sections can be calculated for transitions to discrete residual levels with known spins and parities. Level densities used for the compound component of reaction cross sections are derived from direct summation of the particle-hole state densities used for the precompound component.
