Description of Differential Cross Sections for 63Cu + p Nuclear Reactions Induced by High-Energy Cosmic-Ray Protons

Аннотация

The results of calculation of ⁶³Cu + p differential cross sections at incident-proton energies between 10 and 200 MeV and a comparative analysis of these results are presented as a continuation of the earlier work of our group on developing methods for calculating the contribution of nuclear reactions to radiative effects arising in the onboard spacecraft electronics under the action of high-energy cosmic-ray protons on ⁶³Cu nuclei (generation of single-event upsets) and as a supplement to the earlier calculations performed on the basis of the TАLYS code in order to determine elastic- and inelastic-scattering cross sections and charge, mass, and energy distributions of recoil nuclei (heavy products of the ⁶³Cu + p nuclear reaction). The influence of various mechanisms of the angular distributions of particles emitted in the ⁶³Cu + p nuclear reaction is also discussed.
