摘要

Abstract

The prediction of nuclear cross-section data is crucial, especially in the absence of experimental data or in the difficulty of this experimental data. Nickel (Ni) is an important material in fusion and fission reactor technologies, the production of radionuclides in nuclear medicine, and many other fields. In this study, the excitation functions for,60,62,Ni(α,n),60,61,Ni(α,2n),58,64,Ni(α,p), and,nat,Ni(α,x) reactions have been investigated by using pre-equilibrium reaction models. The calculations of the excitation functions for the reactions are used with the geometry dependent hybrid model in ALICE/ASH code and the two-component exciton model in TALYS 1.8 code. The obtained results are compared to each other and the experimental data is taken from the EXFOR database.
