The isotopic production cross sections for the reactions of 136Xe induced by proton, deuteron and carbon at 168 MeV/u were obtained by using the inverse kinematics technique at RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory. The target dependence of the cross sections was investigated systematically. It was found that for the light-mass products, the cross sections on carbon are larger than those on deuteron and proton. The measured cross sections on proton were compared with the previous data at higher reaction energies to study the energy dependence. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical calculations including both the intranuclear cascade and evaporation processes using PHITS and with the EPAX and SPACS empirical parameterizations.

Synthesizing nuclei through reactions that produce a reasonable yield is important for the experimental study of neutron-rich nuclei. In this study, the cross-section values of 184Ta and 186Ta nuclei in various experiments were reviewed and analysed. The experimental data of (n, p), (p, x) and (n, α) reactions were compared to identify the best reaction to produce these nuclei for further study. Our study shows that (n, p) reactions on natural Tungsten targets are the most feasible reactions with a good yield of the neutron-rich Tantalum isotopes. New reactions have been proposed for the effective synthesis of 184Ta and 186Ta using tritium beams on Hafnium targets. The cross-section values of the proposed reactions were calculated by PACE4 software simulations.

The projectile fragment separator type radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities, being developed in different laboratories, provide the scope for producing many new exotic nuclei through fragmentation of high energy radioactive ion (RI) beams. A new empirical parametrization for the estimation of cross-sections of projectile fragments has been prescribed for studying the advantages and limitations of high energy RI beams for the production of new exotic nuclei. The parametrization reproduces the experimental data for the production of fragments from neutron-rich projectiles accurately in contrast to the existing parametrization which tends to overestimate the cross-section of neutron-rich fragments in most cases. The modified formalism has been used to compute the cross-sections of neutron-rich species produced by fragmentation of radioactive projectiles (RIBs). It has been found that, given any limit of production cross-section, the exoticity of the fragment increases rather slowly and shows a saturation tendency as the projectile is made more and more exotic. This essentially limits, to an extent, the utility of very neutron-rich radioactive beams vis-a-vis production of new neutron-rich exotic species.

Abstract The reaction cross-sections of 124Xe(n, 2n)123Xe, 126Xe(n, 2n)125Xe, 128Xe(n, 2n)127Xe, 130Xe(n, 2n)129mXe, 132Xe(n, 2n)131mXe, 130Xe(n, p)130I, 131Xe(n, p)131I, and 132Xe(n, p)132I were measured at the 13.5, 13.8, 14.1, 14.4, and 14.8 MeV neutron energies. The monoenergetic neutrons were generated through the 3H(d,n)4He reaction at the China Academy of Engineering Physics using the K-400 Neutron Generator with a solid 3H-Ti target. A high-purity germanium detector was used to measure the activities of the product. The reactions 93Nb(n, 2n)92mNb and 27Al(n, α)24Na served for neutron flux calibration. The cross sections of the (n,2n) and (n,p) reactions of the xenon isotopes were acquired within the 13–15 MeV neutron energy range. These cross-sections were then compared with the IAEA-exchange format (EXFOR) database-derived experimental data together with the evaluation results of the CENDL-3, ENDF/B-VIII.0, JENDL-4.0, RUSFOND, and JEFF-3.3 data libraries as well as the theoretical excitation function obtained using the TALYS-1.95 code. The cross-sections of the reactions (except for the 124Xe(n, 2n)123Xe and 132Xe(n, p)132I) at 13.5, 13.8, and 14.1 MeV are reported for the first time in this work. The present results are helpful to provide better cross-section constraints for these reactions in the 13–15 MeV region, thus improving the quality of the corresponding database. Meanwhile, these data can also be used for the verification of relevant nuclear reaction model parameters.

The Λ-hypernucleus (LHN) production in the proton-induced reaction is studied in the distorted wave impulse approximation(DWIA). The cross sections for the LHN production in the reactions where the proton bombards the 6Li, 12C and 16O targets, respectively, are calculated. It is shown that the reaction cross sections are of the order of μb, and the distortion effects tend to reduce the cross sections by a factor of 3~10. For the sΛ–LHN production, the differential cross section is decreased with the increasing mass of the target nucleus. The pΛ–LHN production cross section is normally higher than that for the sΛ–LHN production. The double differential cross sections (DDXS) with respect to the momenta of the outgoing proton and kaon are also demonstrated. The missing mass spectra of the inclusive reaction p+A → p+K++X for the 6Li, 12C and 16O targets, an alternative way to study hypernuclear physics, are proposed. From these spectra, the masses of LHN can accurately be extracted. Moreover, the exotic LHN production in the same type of reaction is also studied . The same physical quantities are calculated. It is shown that the magnitude of the cross section is also in the order of μb. The halo effect of the core nucleus that locates at a place far away from the stable line would make the wave function broader, and consequently reduces the production cross section.

AbstractA selection of measured cross sections and vector analyzing powers, $$A_{x}$$ A x and $$A_{y}$$ A y , are presented for the $$\vec {p}{d}$$ p → d break-up reaction. The data are taken with a polarized proton beam with a kinetic energy of 135 MeV using the Big Instrument for Nuclear-polarization Analysis (BINA) at KVI, the Netherlands. With this setup, $$A_{x}$$ A x is extracted for the first time for a large range of energies as well as polar and azimuthal angles of the two outgoing protons. For most of the configurations, the results at small and large relative azimuthal angles differ in behavior when comparing experimental data with the theoretical calculations. We also performed a more global comparison of our data with theoretical calculations. The cross-section results show huge values of $$\chi ^{2}$$ χ 2 /d.o.f.. The absolute values of $$\chi ^{2}$$ χ 2 /d.o.f. for the components of vector analyzing powers, $$A_{x}$$ A x and $$A_{y}$$ A y , are smaller than the ones for the cross section, partly due to larger uncertainties for these observables. However, also for these observables no satisfactory agreement is found for all angular combinations. This implies that the present models of a three-nucleon force are not able to provide a satisfactory description of experimental data.

Data collected with the DELPHI detector at [Formula: see text] up to LEP2 highest energies (i.e. exceeding 205 GeV) have been used to extract preliminary values of the cross-sections for quark-antiquark pair-production in e + e - annihilations. The values found were used to test the Standard Model predictions and to seek for physics beyond it.

In this study, the fragmentation production cross-sections of heavy residual nuclides in the reactions 238 U (1 A GeV ) + p and p (1.2 GeV ) + 232 Th were calculated and the production of more than 370 different isotopes for this incident reactions was presented. The calculations were made by using the Cascade-Exciton Model including pre-equilibrium effect, the Intranuclear Cascade Model, the empirical and the semi-empirical parametrization. The results of the cross-sections obtained were compared with available experimental data and examined the relation between each other. It is seen that the precision of this models to estimate residue production cross-sections is still far from the performance required for technical applications and this incident model should be improved to obtain a deeper understanding of the reaction mechanisms involved in the production of isotopes.

AbstractA method for modelling the prompt production of molecular states using the hadronic rescattering framework of the general-purpose Pythia event generator is introduced. Production cross sections of possible exotic hadronic molecules via hadronic rescattering at the LHC are calculated for the $$\chi _{c1}(3872)$$ χ c 1 ( 3872 ) resonance, a possible tetraquark state, as well as three possible pentaquark states, $$P_c^+(4312)$$ P c + ( 4312 ) , $$P_c^+(4440)$$ P c + ( 4440 ) , and $$P_c^+(4457)$$ P c + ( 4457 ) . For the $$P_c^+$$ P c + states, the expected cross section from $$\Lambda _b$$ Λ b decays is compared to the hadronic-rescattering production. The $$\chi _{c1}(3872)$$ χ c 1 ( 3872 ) cross section is compared to the fiducial $$\chi _{c1}(3872)$$ χ c 1 ( 3872 ) cross-section measurement by LHCb and found to contribute at a level of $${\mathcal {O}({1\%})}$$ O ( 1 % ) . Finally, the expected yields of $$\mathrm {P_c^{+}}$$ P c + production from hadronic rescattering during Run 3 of LHCb are estimated. The prompt background is found to be significantly larger than the prompt $$\mathrm {P_c^{+}}$$ P c + signal from hadronic rescattering.

This work reports partial results of a (n, nγ) measurement on 16O. The γ rays of interest from the inelastic channel were detected using the Gamma Array for Inelastic Neutron Scattering (GAINS) spectrometer at the Geel Electron Linear Accelerator (GELINA) neutron source. A very thick (32.30(4) mm) SiO2 target was used. The main goal was to determine the angle-integrated γ-production cross section for the most important transitions. In this work we report the results for the main 16O transition and we emphasize a consistency check aiming to ensure data reliability. Our results are compared with theoretical calculations performed using the TALYS 1.8 code and with previously reported experimental data.

The cross section of the 191Ir(n,2n) reaction was experimentally determined relative to the 27Al(n,α)24Na reference reaction one, for incident neutron beam energies ranging from 15.3 to 20.9 MeV, by means of the activation technique. The quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams were produced at the 5.5 MV Tandem Accelerator ofNCSR "Demokritos" via the 3H(d,n)4He reaction. Following the irradiations the activity induced by the neutron beam at the targets and reference foils was measured by HPGe detectors. The cross sections for the population of the second isomeric state (m2) of 190Ir and the sum of the ground and isomeric states (g+m1+0.086 m2) were independently determined. Additionally, theoretical calculations of the above cross sections were carried out using the EMPIRE code. The details of these calculations concerning the optical model parameters, are described in the present work.
