Cross sections, penetrating range and stopping power for charge particles emission from n + 52Cr

Abstract

In a fusion reactor, DT reactions produce huge amount of neutrons which hit the structure material and produce heat and damages. To understand the production of nuclear heating and material damages, study of double differential cross section (DDX), energy differential cross section (EDX), penetrating range of incident particles and stopping power of target element was calculated for 52Cr(n, p) and 52Cr(n, a) reactions. The calculated data have been compared with the suitable experimental data collected from EXFOR and other. The contribution of compound, pre-equilibrium and direct reaction processes has been analyzed for the entire cross section calculation. The emission of charged particles at different angles has been discussed based on the reaction processes. Parameter adjustment has been applied to fit the experimental data.
