Calculations for the Excitation Functions of Reactions Induced in ⁶³Cu by Neutrons in the 1- to 20-MeV Energy Range

Calculations for the excitation functions of ⁶³Cu(n,p)⁶³Ni, ⁶³Cu(n,np)⁶²Ni, ⁶³Cu(n,)⁶⁰Co, ⁶³Cu(n,)^60mCo, ⁶³Cu(n,n)⁵⁹Co, ⁶³Cu(n,n')⁶³Cu, and ⁶³Cu(n,2n)⁶²Cu reactions were carried out using Hauser-Feshbach and preequilibrium reaction theories for neutrons in the 1- to 20-MeV energy range. The results have been compared with reported measurements and standard evaluations.
