Abstract

In this study, calculation of charged particles induced nuclear reactions of beryllium (Be-9) target nuclei have been investigated in the incident proton and alpha at energy range from threshold to 50 MeV. The excitation functions for Be-9 target nuclei reactions have been calculated by using PCROSS nuclear reaction calculation code. Weisskopf-Ewing model for equilibrium, calculations and the full exciton and cascade exciton models for pre-equilibrium calculations were used. Also, the semi-empirical calculations for (p,alpha) reactions have been done by using cross section formula updated with new coefficient developed by Tel et al. (Pramana Indian Acad Sci 74(6):931, 2010). The calculated results were compared with the experimental data for different energy levels ranging from 0.00 to 9.65 MeV taken from the literature.
