Reaction cross-section calculations for some deuteron induced reactions on 89Y

Abstract

There exist many parameters for determining the characteristics of a reaction and its possible outcomes, consequences and potential results. One of these parameters is the cross-section data. The information about cross-section data may help to the researchers on many topics like protecting from unexpected reaction results or saving money and time, concerning the experimental costs. Hence, there exist many studies focusing on nuclear reaction cross-section calculations. Likewise; in this study, theoretical calculations for some deuteron induced reactions on 89Y fission reactor moderator material have been done. Obtained theoretical calculation results have been compared with each other and with experimental results taken from EXFOR database
