Calculations for the Excitation Functions of Reactions Induced in 63Cu by Neutrons in the 1- to 20-MeV Energy Range

Calculations for the excitation functions of 63Cu(n,p)63Ni, 63Cu(n,np)62Ni, 63Cu(n,(alpha))60Co, 63Cu(n, (alpha))60mCo, 63Cu(n,(alpha)n)59Co, 63Cu(n,nʹ)63Cu, and 63Cu(n,2n)62Cu reactions were carried out using Hauser-Feshbach and preequilibrium reaction theories for neutrons in the 1- to 20-MeV energy range. The results have been compared with reported measurements and standard evaluations.
