Abstract

Highlights: We calculate all cross sections and angular distributions for n+ 232 Th below 150 MeV. Comparisons of experimental data with the results show good agreements are observed. All of the results have been transformed into ENDF-B formatted data files for application. Abstract: All reaction cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra and double differential cross sections of neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, and alpha-particle emission for n+ 232 Th reaction are consistent calculated and analyzed in the energy range of E n ⩽ 150 MeV. The optical model, the intra-nuclear cascade model, the fission model, the unified Hauser–Feshbach theory and the exciton model which included the improved Iwamoto–Harada model, and the distorted wave Born approximation theory are used. Theoretical calculated results are compared with recent experimental data and other evaluated data from ENDF/B-VII and JENDL-3.
