Evaluation of d + 6,7Li data for deuteron incident energies up to 50 MeV

A new evaluation of the nuclear data for a particle transport calculations was performed for d + Li-6,Li-7 interactions in the energy region from 4 to 50 MeV incident energy. Use was made of the available new optical model potential for d + Li interactions. For the description of a neutron emission a new optical model potential for n + Be-9 was elaborated for the neutron energies from 0.1 to 22 MeV. Global optical model potentials were used for the neutrons above 22 MeV and for protons, tritons, He-3 and alphas - in the whole energy range. The following nuclear processes were accounted for: particle evaporation and preequilibrium emission, stripping of the proton from the deuteron and direct interactions of deuterons with lithium nuclei. GNASH and ECIS96 codes were applied for the first two process descriptions, the Serber model was utilised for stripping processes and the DWUCK4 code was used for direct reaction processes modelling. Total neutron emission spectra were calculated as a sum of the spectra in all these processes. A complete transport file was finally prepared in ENDF-6 format covering the deuteron incident energies up to 50 MeV. The newly evaluated data are in good agreement with experimental data for neutron emission spectra. The evaluated data files were successfully tested with a modified version of the MCNP computer code. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
