Compound nucleus reactions
TLDR
The theories of compound nucleus reactions to discrete and continuum states are reviewed and compared with experimental data in this paper, in particular the Weisskopf-Ewing, Hauser-Feshbach, and Feshbach-Kerman-Koonin theories.Abstract:
The theories of compound nucleus reactions to discrete and continuum states are reviewed and compared with experimental data. In particular, the Weisskopf-Ewing, Hauser-Feshbach, and Feshbach-Kerman-Koonin theories are described and their range of validity investigated. Recent work on the width fluctuation correction and the elastic enhancement factor is included in the review.read more

The conditions for the synthesis of heavy nuclei
K H Schmidt,W Morawek +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the evaporation cascade of fissile excited compound systems is compared with the expectations of the statistical model, and experimental evidence is presented that the hindrance to fusion is strongly influenced by the nuclear structure of the reaction partners.

Theoretical Nuclear Physics
TL;DR: A semi-empirical basis is used to describe and correlate the known nuclear properties including the theoretical concepts, methods, and considerations which have been devised in order to interpret the experimentsl material and to advance the ability to predict and control nuclear phenomena.

A composite nuclear-level density formula with shell corrections
A. Gilbert,A. G. W. Cameron +1 more
TL;DR: At low excitation energies a constant nuclear temperature representation of nuclear-level densities was used, and at high excitation energy the regular Fermi gas formula was adopted as mentioned in this paper.

The Inelastic Scattering of Neutrons
Walter Hauser,Herman Feshbach +1 more
TL;DR: The total cross section and differential cross section for the inelastic scattering of neutrons are considered in this article, where it is assumed that the compound nucleus is sufficiently excited so that the statistical model may be applied.

On the Behavior of Cross Sections Near Thresholds
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy dependence of the cross section for the formation of a product, near the threshold energy for that formation, is considered, and it is shown that the cross-section is, apart from a constant, in the neighborhood of the threshold the same function of energy, no matter what the reaction mechanism is, as long as the long-range interaction of the product particles is the same.
