Modeling 14 MeV Neutron Scattering on Titanium, Chromium, and Iron Nuclei Using the TALYS Program

The TALYS 1.9 program is used to calculate cross sections of processes that occur during the scattering of fast neutrons on 48Ti, 52Cr, and 56Fe isotopes. Results from model calculations are compared to data obtained in the TANGRA project using tagged neutrons from the yields of γ-quanta for Ti, Cr, and Fe isotopes, and the results from earlier experiments. Analysis of the model description’s sensitivity to the choice of the direct reaction mechanism shows the most informative characteristic from this viewpoint is the differential cross section of inelastic scattering.
