Implementation of New Fission Barrier Model in TALYS Code

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is aimed to calculate neutron induced fission cross section using TALYS nuclear reaction code by utilizing new fission barrier model parameter. The new fission barrier model is based on minimization method of action functional of deformed nucleus fission trajectory in configuration of space from ground state to the exit barrier. New fission barrier parameter that obtained from this new model will be fed into the TALYS code to calculate the fission cross section of Th-232 and U-238 through statistical method. The result shows a better agreement with ENDF data compared to that of ETFSI (Extended Thomas-Fermi and Strutinsky Integral) or Mamdouh model of fission barrier for energy between 2 and 10 MeV.
