Description
Advanced nuclear reaction theory is indispensable for producing reliable nuclear data used for both basic science and practical applications across various fields. Microscopic approaches incorporating nuclear structure information have predictive capabilities for neutron-induced reactions. We have developed a calculation method for direct and pre-equilibrium processes in neutron-induced inelastic scattering based on a noniterative finite amplitude method (FAM) and the distorted-wave Born approximation. Scattering processes to both discrete and continuum states are consistently calculated within the same framework by solving quasiparticle random-phase approximation equations derived from the noniterative FAM. We demonstrate the capability of the developed framework for heavy nuclei by comparing the calculated results with available experimental data.
