Original Abstract

The use of copper as a first wall material has been considered in reactor designs that have high thermal loads on the first wall or require a shield of high electrically conductive material surrounding the plasma to help stabilize its location. The ones that generate gaseous elements such as hydrogen and helium by reactions (n,xp) and (n,xa) are of prime concern for studying the structural stability of reactor materials from the multiple neutron induced reactions that take place within a fusion reactor. These reactions cause damage to the first wall, structural and blanket material of the fusion reactor. Nuclear data is very important in nuclear research, such as the design of fusion devices, fission power plants, accelerators, environmental, space dosimetry and isotopes production [1]. In the present work, the cross section of the 65Cu (n,p) 65Ni reaction was measured above 13 MeV incident neutron energies relative to the 27Al (n,a) 24Na reference reaction by activation and offline γ-ray spectrometric technique. The present results were compared with the literature data taken from the EXFOR [2] database and evaluated data of the ENDF/B-VIII. 0, JEFF-3.3, JENDL4. 0/HE, CENDL-3.2, TENDL-2019 and FENDL-3.2 libraries [3]. The statistical reaction TALYS (ver. 1.9) code [4] were used for the cross section calculation using the different optical potential, level density and pre-equilibrium models. Experimental procedure The irradiation of the samples were performed at the 14UD Pelletron Linac accelerator facility of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India. The neutron was produced via the 7Li (p,n)
