Abstract
A new empirical formulae for the calculation of the (n, p) reaction cross-sections at 14.5 MeV neutron energy has been proposed. The measured data for (n, p) reaction cross-sections have been collected from the literature and analyzed for the isotopes having 3 ≤ Z ≤ 83. It has been found that σ n,p versus Z/A is more effective than σ n,p versus S p The odd–even effects have been observed as the cross-sections of odd-mass nuclei are higher than those of their neighboring even–even nuclei.
