Neutron-induced reactions on radioactive nuclei are important for a variety of applications. However, these reactions are often difficult to measure directly due to the unstable nature of the reactants. A variety of indirect methods have been developed in which experimental measurements are used to constrain the statistical calculations of these reactions. I will discuss the epistemological...
Accurate modeling of neutron-induced inelastic scattering is essential for enhancing the predictive capabilities of nuclear reaction codes, particularly for short-lived nuclei where experimental data are limited. Inelastic scattering can proceed through multiple mechanisms, including compound nucleus formation and decay, as well as direct and pre-equilibrium emissions. We have developed a...
