Rare Clustering Processes in Nuclei in the Intermediate Mass Range

Abstract

Rare clustering processes in vanadium and enriched nickel nuclei were investigated. In particular, reactions involving the emission of one or two alpha particles, as well as fission processes in these targets, were studied. Calculations were performed using the TALYS code. It was found that the induced activity method can be used to investigate the probability of the ⁶⁴Ni(p, 2α n)⁵⁶Mn reaction. Calculations show that there is a real possibility of registering heavier fragments, for example, the isotope ⁴⁸Sc, which is formed during the interaction of protons with enriched nickel.
