Calculation and analysis of 63,65,natCu(p,x) reaction cross sections in the Ep ≤ 250 MeV energy range

According to advanced nuclear models that account for details of nuclear structure and the quantum nature of nuclear reactions, and the experimental data of reaction cross sections and elastic scattering angular distributions of natural copper and its isotopes, all cross sections of proton induced reaction, energy spectra, and the double differential cross sections for neutrons, protons, deuterons, tritons, helium and alpha emissions are calculated and analyzed for P+Cu-63,Cu-65nat at incident proton energies below 250 MeV by using nuclear theoretical models. Theoretical calculated results are compared with existing experimental data. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
