Advanced breakup-nucleon enhancement of deuteron-induced reaction cross sections

Abstract

Following the EUROfusion PPPT-programme action for an advanced modeling approach of deuteron-induced reaction cross sections, as well as specific data evaluations in addition of the TENDL files, an assessment of the details and corresponding outcome for the latter option of TALYS for the breakup model has been carried out. The breakup enhancement obtained in the meantime within computer code TALYS, by using the evaluated nucleon-induced reaction data of TENDL-2019, is particularly concerned. Discussion of the corresponding results, for deuteron-induced reactions on $^{58}$Ni, $^{96}$Zr, and $^{231}$Pa target nuclei up to 200 MeV incident energy, includes limitations still existing with reference to the direct-reaction account
