Using a variation of a standard attenuation technique, total proton reaction cross sections (σR) have been measured for Ti and B at eight incident proton energies between 20 and 50 MeV at the University of Manitoba Cyclotron Laboratory. The Ti cross sections are presented along with existing reaction cross section data and are compared with optical model predictions for σR. The B cross sections are compared with σR for the nearby elements Be and C. The B and Ti results are also compared to predictions of the opaque-nucleus model.

Analysis of reaction cross sections of [Formula: see text] are performed with Glauber model (GM) including medium modifications arising from Fermi motion and in-medium nucleon–nucleon (NN) total reaction cross section. The density distributions of Boron isotopes are described by a deformed-average Fermi shape, whose proton and neutron radii and deformation parameters are derived from relativistic mean field (RMF), harmonic oscillator (HO) and two-parameter Fermi (2pF). These densities can describe the reaction cross section of Boron isotopes except for [Formula: see text] which is better described by an HO core plus extended Gaussian (HOG) or HO plus a modified Yukawa (HOMY) tail, which depends on the 1n separation energy. It is found that Fermi motion effects dominated at intermediate energy, and they are important to describe the data in addition to in-medium effects. In-medium effects, which are incorporated locally, reduced the reaction cross section by about 3–5% at all energies. [Formula: see text] is confirmed as a one-neutron halo nucleus, where a large extended tail is observed in the extracted HOMY and HOG model densities as well as in the extracted radii, where the matter radius of [Formula: see text] is found to be about 2.92 fm, which is larger than that of [Formula: see text] (2.5 fm) and [Formula: see text] (2.82 fm) predicted using the GM model including Fermi motion and in-medium effects.

We investigated the reaction dynamics induced by the 7Be,8B+208Pb collisions at energies around the Coulomb barrier. Charged particles originated by both the col- lisions were detected by means of 6 ΔE-Eres telescopes of a newly developed detector array. Experimental data were analysed within the framework of the Optical Model and the total reaction cross-sections were compared together and with the 6,7Li+208Pb colli-sion data. According to the preliminary results, 7Be nucleus reactivity is rather similar to the 7Li one whereas the 8B+208Pb total reaction cross section appears to be much larger than those measured for reactions induced by the other weakly-bound projectiles on the same target.

An empirical formula to calculate the ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] reaction cross-sections for 14.5[Formula: see text]MeV neutrons for 183 target nuclei in the range [Formula: see text] is presented. Evaluated cross-section data from TENDL nuclear data library were used to test and benchmark the formula. In this new formula, the nonelastic cross-section term is replaced by the atomic number [Formula: see text], while the asymmetry parameter-dependent exponential term has been retained. The calculated results are presented in comparison with the seven previously published formulae. We show that the new formula is significantly in better agreement with the measured values compared to previously published formulae.

In this letter, the necessity of a more precise estimation of the data on the reaction π-p → f2(1270)n → π0π0n is mentioned. The total cross-section σ(π-p → f2(1270)n) obtained from the data on the reaction π-p → π0π0n is shown to be approximately three times smaller than that following from the π-p → π+π-n data and also four times smaller than the prediction of the one-pion-exchange model. It is very important to resolve this disagreement because the results on the reaction π-p → f2(1270)n → π0π0n are used directly for the normalization of other reaction cross-sections and determination of branching ratios for some resonances.

Coulomb modified Glauber model has been applied to calculate α total reaction cross-section for 12 C , 16 O and 40 Ca nuclei in the rigid projectile model using microscopic N-α amplitude which is evaluated in terms of NN scattering amplitude parameters. Using realistic densities for target nuclei and the same input information, we find that the predictions of the rigid projectile approximation for α reaction cross sections are, in general, in better agreement with the experimental data than those of the optical limit approximation.

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.

We study the nuclear reaction cross-sections for some of the neutron-rich nuclei in the lighter mass region of the periodic chart which are recently measured. The well-known Glauber formalism is used by taking deformed relativistic and nonrelativistic densities as input in the calculations. We find reasonable reaction cross-sections with both the densities. However with a better inspection of the results, it is noticed that the results obtained with relativistic densities are more closure to the experimental data than the nonrelativistic Skyrme densities.
