Abstract

The major role of consistent parameter sets within analysis of neutron-induced α-particle emission, for the assessment of a possible difference between the optical model potentials (OMPs), which describe either alpha-particle elastic scattering and induced reactions or alpha-emission from excited compound nuclei, is shown. They are involved at variance with use of either empirical rescaling factors of the γ and/or neutron widths or even combinations of all options of a computer code for main input parameters. Suitable description of all competitive reaction channels, confirmed by a careful uncertainty analysis in order to avoid parameter ambiguities and/or error compensation, supports further consideration of additional direct processes.
