Consistent Analysis of the Nuclear Reaction Mechanisms Involved in Deuteron-induced Activation at Low and Medium Energies

A complete analysis of the nuclear reaction mechanisms involved within natFe(d, x)55Co reaction, i.e. the breakup, stripping, pick-up, pre-equilibrium emission, and evaporation from fully equilibrated compound nucleus, is presented in order to highlight the importance of direct mechanisms that are not appropriately considered in the evaluation procedure. The overall agreement between the measured data and model calculations confirms the correctness of nuclear mechanism description taken into account stressing out the omissions of the evaluation procedures.
