Calculations of Proton Emission Cross Sections in Deuteron Induced Reactions of Some Fusion Structural Materials

The growing demands for energy consumption have led to the increase of the research and development activities on new energy sources. Fusion energy has the highest potential to become a very safe, clean and abundant energy source for the future. To get energy from fusion are needed for development of fusion reactor technology. Particularly, the design and development of international facilities as International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor and International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility requires for the cross-section data of deuteron induced reactions. Moreover, the selection of fusion structural materials are an indispensable component for this technology. Therefore, the cross-section data of deuteron induced reactions on fusion structural materials are of great importance for development of fusion reactor technology. In this study, reaction model calculations of the cross sections of deuteron induced reactions on structural fusion materials such as ²⁷Al, ⁵⁹Co, ⁵⁵Mn, ⁵⁰Cr, ⁵⁴Cr, ⁶⁴Ni, ¹⁰⁹Ag, ¹⁸⁴W and ¹⁸⁶W have been carried out for incident energies up to 50 MeV. In these calculations, the pre-equilibrium and equilibrium effects for (d,p) stripping reactions have been investigated. The pre-equilibrium calculations involve the new evaluated the geometry dependent hybrid model and hybrid model. Equilibrium effects are calculated according to the Weisskopf-Ewing model. In the calculations the program code ALICE/ASH was used. The calculated results are discussed and compared with the experimental data taken from the literature.
