From credible shell model interactions to neutron-capture uncertainties
Oliver Gorton, Konstantinos Kravvaris
Nuclear structure theory can provide nuclear astrophysics and nuclear technologies with bound state properties and transition rates. When describing nuclear reactions, the list can…
Constraining capture cross sections using proton inelastic scattering as a surrogate reaction
Aaina Thapa, Jutta Escher, Emanuel Chimanski +6
The surrogate reaction method is an alternative to direct measurements of compound nuclear reaction cross sections. We introduce theory tools for extracting capture cross sections…
Towards next-generation optical potentials for nuclear reactions and structure calculations
Salvatore Simone Perrotta, Cole Davis Pruitt, Oliver C. Gorton +1
Optical-model potentials (OMPs) are critical ingredients for basic and applied nuclear physics. Present-day computational capabilities allow us to generate data-driven nucleon-nucl…
Correcting for neutron width fluctuations in Hauser-Feshbach gamma branching ratios
Oliver C. Gorton, Jutta E. Escher
Porter-Thomas fluctuations of neutron widths skew compound nuclear decay probabilities from their statistical Hauser-Feshbach values. We present a straightforward method to correct…
Improving nuclear data evaluations with predictive reaction theory and indirect measurements
Jutta Escher, Kirana Bergstrom, Emanuel Chimanski +9
Nuclear reaction data required for astrophysics and applications is incomplete, as not all nuclear reactions can be measured or reliably predicted. Neutron-induced reactions involv…
A Problem in the Statistical Description of Beta-Delayed Neutron Emission
Oliver Gorton, Calvin Johnson, Jutta Escher
Reaction measurements on fission products are being planned at both Argonne National Lab and at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. These indirect experiments produce specific sho…
Cross sections for neutron-induced reactions from surrogate data: revisiting the Weisskopf-Ewing approximation for and reactions
Oliver C. Gorton, Jutta E. Escher
Earlier work has demonstrated that cross sections for neutron-induced fission and radiative neutron capture can be determined from a combination of surrogate reaction data and theo…
Neutron capture cross sections from surrogate reaction data and theory: connecting the pieces with a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo approach
Oliver Gorton, Jutta E. Escher
The neutron capture cross section for has recently been determined using surrogate data and nuclear reaction theory. That work employed an approxim…
