Nuclear model calculations of cross sections for neutron-induced reactions on 93Nb to 20 MeV

Neutron-induced reaction cross sections for 93 Nb for incident energies between 0.3 and 20 MeV were calculated by means of the single-channel optical model and a combination of pre-equilibrium and Hauser-Feshbach model. The parameters entering into these models were chosen or adjusted so as to reproduce a large amount of experimental data. A description of this fit procedure, the resulting calculated cross sections and their comparison to the experimental data are presented.
