The study of the excited states in nuclei is the key to understand not only the structure of nuclei but also the modes of generation of angular momentum in nuclei and different quantum mechanical symmetries in nuclei. In order to predominantly excite a particular set of states in a nucleus, one has to choose a suitable reaction. For example, the heavy-ion induced fusion reaction mostly...

71. Recent trends in the neutron and proton induced reaction cross section data for advanced reactor applications

The light particle induced reaction cross-section data are of prime interest for the different areas like radiation dose estimation, radiation damage, fuel cycle assessments, transmutation of long lived nuclei and many more. The future nuclear reactors like Accelerator Driven Subcritical systems (ADSs), International Experimental Thermonuclear Reactor (ITER) and fast breeder reactors demand...

47. Who is game changer in heavy-ion fusion reaction dynamics?

Dr Ajay Kumar (Department of Physics, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, India)

In heavy-ion fusion reactions, the energy of the projectile couples with the intrinsic degrees of freedom of the target during the collision process and this leads to a dissipative phenomenon. Consequently, the dissipation in the system causes the angular momentum hindrance during the fusion process. Here we have focused on the dissipative behavior of the fusing nuclei and its dependency on...

44. Fission dynamics in the Super Heavy Nuclei

Search for the new elements has been one of the major area of research activity in physics and
chemistry over last few decades. Elements up to 294Og (atomic number Z = 118) have been synthesized
successfully using fusion evaporation route, where either double magic nuclei 208Pb (in the synthesis
of Z = 104 -113) or 48Ca (Z = 114 - 118) were extensively used due to extra stability achieved from...

The data for the work has been obtained from the experiment performed at Variable
Energy Cyclotron Centre, Kolkata using the INGA facility. A self-supporting 232Th target
of thickness ~25 mg/cm2 was bombarded with 30 MeV α particles. A total of six
compton suppressed clover Ge detectors and one LEPS detector were used in the
array.
By analyzing the two-fold coincidence data, a complete...

38. Nuclear Data Evaluation and Applications

Dr Sukhjeet Singh Dhindsa (Akal University Talwandi Sabo, Punjab)

The compilation and evaluation of nuclear structure and decay data is being carried out by the network of Nuclear Structure and Decay Data (NSDD) Evaluators- an international network established under the auspice of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Austria. India became a member of this network in 2005 with the establishment of Nuclear Data Center at Indian Institute of Technology,...
