Outline [e.g.1, EFF-DOC-872, Nov. 2003]

• Nuclear cross sections calculations- Search for appropriate optical model potentials: n+182,183,184,186W

- p+ 181Ta- Compilation of the available experimental data (E<20 MeV)- Nuclear model calculations (E<20 MeV)- Comparison with all activation experimental data

• Processing of model calculations results- Cross sections of all individual channels with activation data-

• • [Benchmark experiment analysis updating

– calculated-to-experimental (C/E) activity: reduced deviation from unity ]

Conclusions• Achievements

- Appropriate optical model potentials: n+182,183,184,186W- Unitary description of all activation experimental data (E<20 MeV) by

using a local parameter set in STAPRE-H code- Good results of blind calculations and global parameters within

EMPIRE-II and TALYS codes- Similar sensitivity of calculations vs. reaction mechanisms & model

parameters

• Problems- Major uncertainty of calculated isomeric cross sections: level schemes

& branching ratios

- (n,p)-, (n,)-reaction excitation functions at En>15 MeV

• Completion - Similar analysis for: n+180,181Ta, n+174,176,177,178,179,180Hf

- Need for (n,p)-, (n,)-reaction data at En>15 MeV (e.g., JRC/IRMM)
