Description

Hauser-Feshbach statistical theory calculations are described for neutron reactions with 64Zn, 66Zn, and 68Zn over the energy range 0.01-20 MeV. A neutron spherical optical potential is obtained by fitting neutron total cross sections and elastic angular distributions, together with low-energy resonance data. Preequilibrium effects are calculated with an exciton model, and direct reaction effects are included through DWBA calculations using deformation parameters from (p,p') scattering. The results are compared to experimental data, including new measurements of 64Zn(n,p)64Cu and 64Zn(n,2n)63Zn cross sections at 14.8 MeV. (author). 20 refs, 5 figs, 2 tabs
