Young, LANL, ’80 ] [ IAEA/NDS RCs (12),Bucharest, 1982-2005] YES • unitary use of common model parameters for different mechanisms • use of consistent sets of input parameters - determined by analyses of various independent experimental data • unitary account of whole body of related experimental data for isotope chains and neighboring elements [ activation & particle-emission spectra ] [ enlarged incident-energy range ] n_TOF-Ph2 re-normalization or free parameters NO

  6. n_TOF Collaboration Meeting 2006, Paris, 4-5 Dec. [ Isotopic effect on W isotopes: R. Caplar et al., Z. Phys. A 313, 227 (1983) ] e.g.: Isotopic effects in the (n,p) reaction cross section on Hf and W isotopes [Nucl. Phys. A765, 1 (2006)] Possible reason for actual model overestimation of 181Ta(n.p)181Hf data: • actual data: 181Ta(n.p)181gHf • unknown (long-life) isomer181mHf [PHYSOR-2006, D.10.2]

Interest of reaction cross-sections analysis within energy range En<100 MeV: Comparison of measured and calculated 181Ta(p,xn) reaction cross sections Discrepant • Measured data ( if any! ) • Calculated cross sections • PE threshold in CP-induced reactions • e.g., H.C.Chiang+, Nucl.Phys. A340,466(1980): sPE ~ (1 - VC / E) • [ beff~ b(1 - VC / E)1/2 ]

  19. n_TOF Collaboration Meeting 2006, Paris, 4-5 Dec. Fig.1. Schematic representation of collision 11Li + Si target Fig.2. Schematic representation of collision 11Li + C target One can see from Fig.1 and Fig. 2 that there is a marked difference In the screening between the Si and the C targets. In Table I it is shown that the two neutron pre-emission probability P{2}calculated by sharp-cutoff is 0.492 for C target and 0.144 for Si tar-get, that is by about 3.5 times larger for C target than for Si target.

  20. n_TOF Collaboration Meeting 2006, Paris, 4-5 Dec. Fig. 1. This fig. is taken from ref. [1]. In the insert is shown the Cnn correlation function for 11Li calculated by using a 3-body model [1]. The minimum in the insert is due to the coherence bet-ween the 2 halo neutrons. In Table 3 it is shown that the new theory can be tested (Case 2) for a statistics of nn predicted in previous attached paper. [1] M.T.Yamashita et al., Phys. Rev. C72, 011601(R) (2005)
