Investigation on the Excitation Function of Alpha Induced Reaction on 116-Cd in the Energy Range between 15 and 40 Mev

Abstract

In this work, the alpha particle-induced reaction on Cadmium-116 in the energy range 20-40 MeV has been studied. The excitation function for the following reaction channels of this type have been studied in the energy range of 15 MeV-40 MeV are; 48-Cd-116(α, n) 50-Sn-119. This reaction has a total number of exciton six, number of neutron one and number of holes also one. 48-Cd-116(α, 2n + p) 49-In-117. In this reaction (TD = 10, Ex1 = 3 and Ex2 = 3). 48-Cd-116(α, 3n) 50-Sn-117. The exciton number of this reaction is (TD = 10, Ex1 = 3 and Ex2 = 3) 48-Cd-116(α, 3n + p) 49-In-116. It has an exciton number of (TD = 12 Ex1 = 4 and Ex2 = 4) 48-Cd-116(α, n + α) 48-Cd-115. This reaction has (TD = 14, Ex1 = 1, Ex2 = 5 and Ex3 = 4) were studied and comparative analysis was performed for reaction channels of 116-Cd target nuclei. The experimentally measured excitation functions obtained from the EXFOR data source, IAEA, were compared with the theoretical calculations with and without the inclusion of pre-equilibrium emission of particles, made by the COMPLET code. The level density parameter is varied to obtain good agreement between the calculated and measured data with minimum effort on the fitting parameter.
