Recent developments and applications for precompound nuclear theory

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5958452
New considerations on consistent effective level densities for precompound decay are reviewed and tested for the hybrid model formulation. The importance of using realistic single particle levels for few quasi-particle densities is illustrated via (p,n) reactions on four Zr isotope targets. Some review is given of combinations of precompound plus Hauser-Feshbach approaches. The status of semi-classical and quantal approaches to calculating angular distributions is also discussed. We present comparisons of experimental and calculated angular distributions, particle spectra and excitation functions for reactions with nucleons and heavy ions up to and beyond 100 MeV, as examples of data being requested by modern technology. 43 refs.
