Abstract

In the present work, the 197Au(n,2n) reaction cross section is studied within the framework of the Gen- eralized Superfluid Model (GSM). The cross sections for the population of the second isomeric state (12−) of 196Au and the sum of the ground (2−) and first isomeric state (5−) population cross sections were independently studied in the 8 to 25 MeV region with the use of the STAPRE-F, EMPIRE and TALYS codes, which were also compared in their implementation of the GSM. The theoretical results are compared with previous work in the same mass region and the strong dependence on the level scheme of the nuclei involved was revealed.
