Description
Nuclear data for alpha particle induced reactions on 58,60,61,62,64,nat.Ni plays an important role in the application of nuclear techniques like charged particle activation analysis, medical isotope production, estimation of neutron yield and residual activity of accelerator components or simulation of radiation damage. All cross sections of α-induced reactions, angular distributions, energy spectra and double differential cross sections of neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, helium and α-particle emissions for 58,60,61,62,64,nat.Ni are consistently calculated and analyzed at incident energy below 200 MeV. The optical model, the intra-nuclear cascade model, direct reaction theories, the unified Hauser-Feshbach and exciton model which includes the improved Iwamoto-Harada model are used. Theoretically calculated results are compared with the existing experimental data. Good agreement is generally observed between the calculated results and the experimental data. Since the improved Iwamoto-Harada model has been included in the exciton model for the light composite particle emissions, the theoretical models provide the good description of the shapes and magnitude of the energy spectra and double differential cross section of emission deuteron, triton, helium and alpha. The evaluated data are given in the format of ENDF. Therefore, these data can be effectively used in different practical applications.
