Nuclear Data Evaluation for Proton-Induced Reactions of Aluminum based on the Talys Code

Nuclear Data Evaluation for Proton-Induced Reactions of Aluminum based on the Talys Code

The evaluation of proton cross section data for aluminum is presented for incident proton energies from 0.1 MeV to 150 MeV. The main objective of this work is to provide a complete representation of nuclear data needed for design of an accelerator-based facility to produce radioisotopes, including analyses of system performance, transport, radioactivity, and shielding requirements. The calculation has been performed with the nuclear reaction model code Talys and validated with available experimental data. The model parameters were taken from the literatures or existing libraries and were adjusted to reproduce the measured data. Our evaluation contains the production cross sections and the double-differential cross sections for all possible residual channels as well as the light particles, such as neutrons, protons, deuterons, tritons, ³He nuclei and alpha particles. The data in this work are shown to be in good agreements with the available experimental data.
