Abstract:
In this work, alpha ( 4 He) induced reactions on copper nucleus ( 65 29 Cu) in between the energy range 16 MeV up to 35 MeV were studied. The nuclear reaction cross sections for five reactions namely, 65 Cu(α, n) 68 Ga, 65 Cu(α, 2n) 67 Ga, 65 Cu(α, 3n) 66 Ga, 65 Cu(α, p) 68 Zn and 65 Cu(α, 2p) 67 Cu were calculated theoretically. For the sake of comparison, the results of experimental cross sections were extracted from the EXFOR library. The main intent of the research was to fill the gap between the experimental and the theoretical excitation functions of nuclear reaction by generating data using computational CODE COMPLET. To this end, the excitation functions of the reactions were depicted for the energy ranges similar to that of the experimental results.
