Calculation of double differential proton emission cross sections for structural fusion materials 27Al, 28Si

In the structural development of the fusion reactor, the need for double differential cross section (DDX) data of various lightly charged particles emitted by the nuclear reaction of 14 MeV neutrons to reactor elements (first wall, blanket etc.) This data will be useful in determining the structural deformations that may occur during both reactor modeling and later use. In this thesis, double differential proton emission cross sections of the 28Si and 27Al target nuclei resulting from bombardment with 14 MeV neutrons were theoretically calculated using the TALYS 1.8 nuclear reaction code. These calculated cross-sections are compared with the experimental cross-section values available in the EXFOR nuclear data library. In addition, in TALYS 1.8 code, contribution of direct, compound and pre-equilibrium reaction cross sections were found and reaction process was investigated.
