Theoretical Calculations of n+⁵⁶Fe Reaction

The gamma production, level production and total inelastic scattering cross sections are calculated at incident neutron energy below 20 MeV. The optical model, the intra-nuclear cascade model, the exciton model (including improved Iwamoto-Harada model), the uni ed Hauser-Feshbach theory and the distorted wave Born approximation theory are used. Theoretical calculated results are compared with the recent experimental data and other evaluated data from ENDF/B-VII, JEFF-3.1, and JENDL-4. It is found that our calculated results agree with the experimental data and the calculated results for some level cross sections are more consistent with the related experimental data than the results from ENDF/B-VII, JEFF-3.1, and JENDL-4 data base.
