Calculations and Evaluations of the n+⁴⁸Ti Reaction Below 200 MeV

Abstract

The medium-mass structural material titanium has been extensively applied in the nuclear reactor systems of fission or fusion, and related data are also urgently needed. In the present work, all reaction cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double-differential cross sections are consistently calculated and analyzed for the n+⁴⁸Ti reaction below 200 MeV. The theoretical calculations are compared with the experimental data, together with the evaluated results in the ENDF/B-VIII.0, JENDL-4.0, and JEFF-3.3 libraries. In general, these results provide a satisfactory description of the corresponding experimental data.

Keywords:

• Neutron-induced reaction
