New semi-empirical systematic of (p,n) reaction cross section at 7.5 MeV

Abstract It is advised to use a new formula to calculate the (p, n) reaction cross section at 7.5 MeV. We propose six new parameters for the formula proposed by Broeders, C. and Konobeyev, A.Y. (2008. Systematics of (p,n) reaction crosssection. Radiochim. Acta 96: 387–397) to fit experimental data. It should be noted that our systematics is only applicable to isotopes with a ratio of 7.5 MeV to the reaction threshold above 1.3 (7.5/E th > 1.3). This is based on analytical calculations generated from the semi-empirical mass formula, the evaporation model, and the pre-equilibrium exciton model. We were able to find new parameters for the Broders et al. formula through this inquiry that guarantee a good fit with the revised experimental data (EXFOR2022) and provide a minimum value for the statistical parameters ∑ and χ2.
