Double differential cross section calculations for 16 O and 90 Zr elements

Abstract

Double differential cross sections in proton induced reactions on ⁹⁰Zr and O₂ (inert matrix fuel) is calculated at the bombarding energies between 29 and 300 MeV. The proton-induced nuclear reaction cross section data can be used in technical applications such as the isotope production alternatives, spallation reactions for production of neutrons in spallation neutron source, etc. In this study, the cascade excition model including the effect of preequilibrium is used to calculate the differential cross section. Then, the obtained results are discussed and compared with available experimental data.
