Description
Summary:We discuss how nuclear reaction theories and experimental data are utilized in many different application fields. The neutron-induced compound nuclear reactions, which take place from the sub-eV energy range up to tens of MeV, are the most important mechanisms to analyze the experimental data, to predict unknown reaction cross sections, to evaluate the nuclear data for databases, and to reduce the uncertainties. Improvement of predictive-power of nuclear reaction theories still requires further development of compound nuclear reaction theories for fission and radiative capture processes, since these reaction cross sections are especially important for nuclear science and technologies. An acceptable accuracy of these cross-sections has been achieved only if they were experimentally confirmed.
