Studying nuclear reactions near the Coulomb barrier shows a number of problems which have remained unsolved for a long time: The out-of-phase problem between theoretical predictions and experimental data; the reproductions of the oscillatory structure near the Coulomb barrier; the consistent description of angular distributions together with the excitation functions data are just some of these problems. In order to address and overcome these problems, by considering a comparative study of the shallow and deep optical potentials, the elastic scattering angular distributions and excitation functions data of the 12 C +24 Mg reaction have been analyzed within the framework of the optical model over a wide energy range. The potential depths near the Coulomb barrier according to the increasing energy and threshold anomaly are discussed in terms of the shallow and deep potentials. Excellent agreement between theoretical results and measured data is obtained by using the optical model.

Cross section measurements for the197Au(n,xn) reactions have been performed at The Svedberg Laboratory (TSL) high-energy neutron facility in Uppsala,Sweden. The 45.6 and 58.3 MeVquasi-monoenergetic neutron beams were produced by means of the 7Li(p,n) reaction and were monitored with thin-film breakdown counters (TFBCs). After the end of the irradiations, the activity induced by the neutron beams in the targets and in reference foils, has been measured by a HPGe detector. In order to determine the cross sections of the (n,xn) reactions, the spectral neutron flux distribution is needed, thus the characterization of the beam is of major importance. Therefore, simulations that take into account the whole experimental setup of the irradiation have been performed with the use of MCNP5 code and the results are presented in this work. Currently, further analysis of the data is in progress.
