Abstract

In this paper; photo-neutron cross-sections have been computed for 27Al, 28,29Si, 52Cr, 54,56Fe isotopes by using nuclear reaction codes TALYS 1.6 and EMPIRE 3.1 with different level density models. Constant Temperature Fermi Gas, Back Shifted Fermi Gas and Generalized Superfluid Models have been employed from TALYS 1.6 whereas Generalized Super Fluid Model was the only model employed from EMPIRE 3.1 reaction codes. Obtained results have been analyzed with experimental values taken from the EXFOR database.
