Abstract

In this study, neutron-emission spectra produced by (α,xn) reactions for some structural fusion materials such as 27Al, 53Cr, 56Fe and 58,60,62Ni have been investigated. Hybrid model, geometry dependent hybrid model and full exciton model have been used to calculate the pre-equilibrium neutron-emission spectra. For the reaction equilibrium component, Weisskopf–Ewing model calculations have been preferred. The mean free path parameter’s effect for (α,xn) neutron-emission spectra has been examined. The obtained results have been discussed and compared with the available experimental data and found agreement with each other.
