Benchmark of the fission channels in TALYS

Nordström, Fredrik January 2021 (has links)
In this project, different fission models in the nuclear reaction code TALYS have been compared to GEF version 2020/1.2. The data included in the comparison are mass yield distributions, average prompt neutron energies per fragment mass, and average multiplicities of both neutrons and γ-rays per fragment mass. The reaction studied in the first part of the project is 1 keV neutron-induced fission of 235U. In the second part of the study, a variety of different nuclei and different incident energies were included in comparisons, but a limitation was set to only include neutron-induced fission. The results from the comparison suggested that TALYS fymodel 2 and 3 were less consistent with GEF than fymodel 4. For the comparisons with experimental data, fymodel 4 also performed better overall. TALYS fymodel 2 and 3 make use of implemented partial versions of GEF to produce fission fragment distributions, while fymodel 4 takes fission fragment distribution data from separate yieldfiles. A database of these yieldfiles with 737 different nuclei and 10 energy levels was produced, to be implemented in future versions of TALYS. The energy levels were chosen to get a range of energies that can be accurately interpolated between. This method of using TALYS fymodel 4 with a yieldfile from GEF consistently showed a strong agreement with GEF version 2020/1.2 for the mass yield distributions and the neutron multiplicities. The γ-ray multiplicities and the neutron energies show a slightly weaker agreement, and TALYS gives consistently smaller values than GEF for these quantities.
