Abstract:
Proton induced reaction on rhodium isotope has been studied in the intermediate energies
up to 100Mev. Excitation function (EFs) for the reaction channels of the type 103Rh
(p,n) 103P d, 103Rh (p,n+p) 102Rh, 103Rh (p,3n) 101P d and 103Rh (p,4n) 100P d were
studied. Theoretical calculations have been carried out by using the code COMPLET
including both compound nucleus (CN) and pre-compound (PC). The theoretical results
are compared with the experimental excitation function obtained from EXFOR data
source, IAEA. The results were also depicted graphically, and the graphs were plotted
with the help of spreadsheet and Origin-6 software. The theoretical calculation further
shows that the reaction channel 103Rh (p,3n) 101P d best fits with the experimental result
than the other reaction types. In general, the study showed that high energy parts of
excitation function are dominated by pre-equilibrium reaction mechanism whereas the
low energy parts are dominated by compound nucleus reaction mechanism.
