Deexcitation models
Authors: Nicolis, Nikolaos
Description:
Abstract:
We describe the deexcitation of a compound nucleus according to the theories of Weisskopf-Ewing and Hauser-Feshbach. Using Weisskopf-Ewing’s theory, we estimate the lifetime of a compound nucleus as a function of its mass and excitation energy. Then, we describe the main characteristics of the exciton model concerning particle emission from excited nuclei on their way to equilibrium. As an application of the pervious theories, we describe the Monte Carlo method as applied to spallation reactions at intermediate energies. We list the main nuclear reaction codes currently in use.
