R-matrix fits to 7Li(p, γo)8Be cross section data for Ep ≤ 1500 keV give reduced width amplitudes of the 1+ levels of 8Be at 17.64 and 18.15 MeV having signs in agreement with shell model calculations, contrary to previous fits to less-extensive data.

Recent fits to low-energy 7Li(p, "Yo)8Be angular distribution and analysing power data suggested a large p-wave strength. It is shown that acceptable fits to the data can be obtained by attributing the p-wave Ml contributions to the tails of the 17 �64 and 18 �15 MeV 1+ levels of 8Be, with p-wave strengths much less than those obtained previously, but only if some of the spectroscopic amplitudes have signs opposite to those suggested by shell model calculations and/or a fit to higher-energy data.

The accuracy of the nuclear cross section data is a prerequisite for the accuracy of reactor physics calculations. The RXSP(Reactor Cross Section Processing Code) which is developed by REAL (Reactor Engineering Analysis Laboratory) of Department of Engineering Physics in Tsinghua University, has changed the situation in China that nuclear cross section processing has been dependent of NJOY for a long time. The key methods such as fast Doppler broadening, thermal libraries interpolation, and OpenMP parallel acceleration, can be achieved with RXSP. This code is able to process the original data of ENDF/B (Evaluated Nuclear Data File/B) efficiently and accurately to produce the continuous energy point cross section data which is necessary for RMC. By comparing with NJOY, The microscopic and macroscopic verification shows that RXSP has the same accuracy as NJOY while RXSP has saved greatly the processing time to meet the efficient demand in the frequent reactor physics-thermal-hydraulic coupling calculations to solve the complex questions related on a large number of materials and temperature. In addition, RXSP make it available to process the resonance parameters of the R-matrix Limited format.

This work emphasized the role of the projectile breakup channel by studying the complete fusion (CF) and incomplete fusion (ICF) dynamics of [Formula: see text] reactions. The theoretical calculations for the chosen reactions have been done by opting for the coupled channel approach and the energy dependent Woods–Saxon potential (EDWSP) model. The below barrier fusion enhancements of the studied reactions are reasonably addressed by the outcomes of the adopted models, which in turn can be attributed to the couplings of nuclear structure degrees of freedom of the collision partners to their relative motion. In contrast, at above barrier energies, the CF cross-section data of the chosen reactions are found to be suppressed significantly when compared with the predictions made by using the present models. Interestingly, the fusion suppression factors of the given reactions can be minimized considerably with respect to the reported value when it is analyzed within the framework of the EDWSP model. For instance, in case of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] reaction, the magnitude of fusion suppression factor is minimized up to 7% (13%) relative to the reported value whereas for [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] reaction, the fusion suppression factor is found to be less by 7% (8%) with reference to the reported value. Such suppression effects can be correlated with the low breakup threshold of alpha breakup channel associated with the loosely bound projectile. The projectiles being weakly bound systems split into two charged fragments and either of the breakup components is absorbed by the target resulting in the reduction of incoming flux going into fusion channel. The flux lost from the CF channel appears in the form of ICF yields. For [Formula: see text], total fusion (TF) cross-sections that are sum of CF and ICF cross-sections are also analyzed in conjunction with the EDWSP model and thus reasonably explained by the model calculations. In order to identify the ICF contribution, the ratio of ICF/TF cross-section data of [Formula: see text] reaction has been examined and thus properly addressed by using the EDWSP model. The presence of ICF component in TF cross-section clearly pointed out the breakup of projectile due to its loosely bound nature prior to the Coulomb barrier. Although ICF data of other systems are not available in the literature, a similar behavior is expected for ICF and TF data for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] reactions.

In the 5.5 MV tandem T11/25 Accelerator Laboratory of NCSR "Demokritos" monoenergetic neutron beams can be produced in the energy ranges 120-650 keV, 4-11.5 MeV and 16-20.5 MeV by using the 7Li(p,n), 2H(d,n) and 3H(d,n) reactions, respectively. The corresponding beam energies and ions delivered by the accelerator, are 1.92-2.37 MeV protons, 0.8-9.6 MeV deuterons and 0.8-3.7 MeV deuterons, for the three reactions, respectively. Experimental results for neutron energies from threshold up to 11.5 MeV and at 17.1 MeV will be given for the 232Th(n,2n)231Th reaction, while for the 241 Am(n,2n)240 Am reaction, preliminary cross section data at 10.4, 10.6 and 17.1 MeV will be discussed. In the framework of the CERN n-TOF collaboration, the cross section of these reactions have been measured relative to the 197Au(n,2n)196Au, 27Al(n,a)24Na and 93Nb(n,2n) reaction cross sections, by using the activation method. In addition to the experimental work, theoretical Statistical model calculations are being carried out using the computer code STAPRE/F. The results are compared to the experimental data.

Fits are made to low-energy 9 Be(g;n) 8 Be cross-section data using one-level R-matrix formulae including channel contributions. Fits with reasonable parameter values are found for the newer radioactive-isotope data, and also for data obtained from inelastic electron scattering on 9 Be, but not for older radioactive-isotope data. This differs from the result of recent fits using a semi-microscopic model, which supported the older data. The difference is attributed to the use in the latter calculation of a single-particle potential description of the continuum wave function.

The importance and present needs of proton cross section data of nitrogen needed by the Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) community are briefly reviewed. Previous experimental data presently used for the theoretical determination of the proton cross-sections are discussed. The Azure code based on the R-matrix formalism was then used to evaluate the data and to determine the nitrogen cross section in the previous and presently desired angular domain and energy region of interest. The experimental elastic backscattering cross section data, as spectra, for back-scattering analysis determined at angles in the laboratory frame of reference, θi,lab, of 165o, 170o and 176o are presented.
