Abstract:
Neutron-induced reaction rates, including fission, are calculated in
the temperature range 108≤T(K)≤1010 within the framework of the
statistical model for targets with atomic number 84≤Z≤118 (from Po
to Uuo) from the neutron to the proton drip-line. Four sets of rates
have been calculated, utilizing - where possible - consistent nuclear
data for neutron separation energies and fission barriers from
Thomas-Fermi (TF), Extended Thomas-Fermi plus Strutinsky Integral
(ETFSI), Finite-Range Droplet Model (FRDM) and Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov
(HFB) predictions. Tables of calculated values as well as analytic
seven parameter fits in the standard REACLIB format are supplied. We
also discuss the sensitivity of the rates to the input, aiming at a
better understanding of the uncertainties introduced by the nuclear
input.
Description:
The organization of Tables 3-6 with calculated rates for 24 different
values of T9 is extremely simple - all data are in 8 columns. The
columns give, in this order, the target element, the atomic mass
number A of the target, the temperature in T9, partition function of
the target, neutron-induced fission rate for the ground state,
neutron-induced fission rate with thermally populated target states,
neutron capture rate for the ground state, neutron capture rate with
thermally populated target states.
The rates in Tables 3-6 were calculated on the basis of different mass
and fission barrier predictions: ETFSI, TF and
FRDM(masses)+TF(barriers), respectively (see main text of the paper
for details).
The fitting coefficients for the (n,g), (g,n), and neutron-induced
fission rates (n,f) with different mass and fission-barrier
predictions are placed in the Tables 7-18 (see example on how to use
them in Appendix A of the main paper). The columns in Tables 7-18 are
organized as follows: target element, atomic mass number A of the
target, target charge number Z, the number of fitting curves i_{fit},
seven coefficients of the forward reaction a_i, and the mean square
error for direct reactions.
A value i{fit}=0 means that there is only one seven-parameter set to
fit the rate. Values i_{fit}>1 give the number of parameter sets which
have to be added up to yield the final rate, i.e. the rate r is
calculated as r={sum.on.i}ri, with each ri computed from the i-th
parameter set and using Eq.
ri=exp(a0+a1/T9+a2/T91/3+a3*T91/3+a4*T9+a5*T95/3+a6*ln(T9)) (4).

Note (1): The rate r is calculated as r={Sum}ri, and each ri is computed as
ri = exp(a0+a1/T9+a2/T91/3+a3*T91/3+a4*T9+a5*T95/3+a6*ln(T9)).
When i=0, there is a single seven-parameter set to fit the rate.
