Description

A theory of partial fusion is used to calculate the competition between escape (breakup) and absorption (compound-nucleus production) following a deuteron-induced transfer of one neutron to a heavy nucleus at energies above the neutron escape threshold. Preliminary calculations are shown to yield excellent results for the competition between neutron absorption and neutron escape when deposited on actinides at energies up to 3 MeV.
