Monte Carlo simulation for statistical Hauser-Feshbach theory

Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations for particle and γ-ray emissions from a compound nucleus based on the Hauser-Feshbach statistical theory are performed. The Monte Carlo method is applied to the neutron induced nuclear reactions on 56Fe, and the results are compared with a traditional deterministic method. The neutron and γ-ray emission correlation is examined by gating on an 847 ke γ-ray that is produced by an inelastic scattering process. The partial γ-ray energy spectra for different γ-ray multiplicities is inferred using this Monte Carlo method.
