We will present three research topics related to the theoretical part of our CRP Contract.
The first topic aims to improve the resolved nuclear levels scheme. To this end, we firstly demonstrate that how the discrete levels can influence the nuclear reaction cross sections and astrophysical reaction rates. Such calculations are performed with both Hauser-Feshbach model and Breit-Wigner...
Average resonance spacing and total radiative widths derived from experimental data are key quantities used in many nuclear physics applications, including testing of level density models and normalization of many experiments. The previous compilation of average resonance spacing and radiative width was a part of the RIPL-3 IAEA project about 15 years ago. The way how the compilation was made...
Nuclear level densities (NLD) impact directly many aspects of nuclear data evaluations, from Hauser-Feshbach calculations to
decay spectra. Therefore, accurate description of NLD are essential to ensure reliability of nuclear applications. Despite its
importance, however, proper extraction of NLD as a function of excitation energy, spin and parity from experimental
measurements has...
