Giant dipole resonance parameters optimization and photo-neutron cross-section calculations of several spherical and deformed nuclei.

Understanding the interaction between photons and matter is crucial for exploring essential questions in nuclear physics. The Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) is the prevailing mechanism in photo-absorption cross-sections up to 30 MeV. Depending on whether the nucleus is spherical or deformed, the curve of the photo-absorption cross-section versus photon energy is characterized by one or several Lorentzian peaks.

Neural network predictions of (α,n) reaction cross sections at 18.5±3 MeV using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.

In recent developments, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have demonstrated their capability to predict reaction cross-sections based on experimental data. Specifically, for predicting (α,n) reaction cross-sections, we meticulously fine-tuned the neural network's performance by optimizing its parameters through the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The effectiveness of this approach is corroborated by notable correlation coefficients; an R-value of 0.

Calculation of double differential neutron cross-sections of Fe and Zr isotopes.

This study is concerned with the calculations of double differential neutron cross-sections of the structural fusion materials of Fe and Zr isotopes that are bombarded with protons. Calculations were performed using the level density models of the TALYS 1.95 code and PHITS 3.

A study on the cross-section data of Sc isotopes via (d,x) reactions on natural abundance targets under the effects of deuteron optical models.

Many studies have investigated the influence of theoretical models and factors involved in the acquisition of cross-section data of a nuclear reaction. The implications of different models of various variables such as level density, gamma strength function, and optical potentials on cross-section calculations whether used solo or jointly are investigated in a significant portion of the works conducted in this perspective. The aim of this particular study is to investigate the influence of different optical models on the cross-section calculations in production of several scandium isotopes, known for various medical uses, from several targets with natural abundances by (d,x) reactions.
