Validation Of Nuclear Reaction Models For Incident Alpha-Particles

Two different models allowing the calculation of reaction products are confronted with data from alpha-particle induced reactions. Both models contain a pre-equilibrium part and an equilibrium or compound nucleus part. The models are the exciton model in form of a code written by the author and TALYS. The other model is the intranuclear cascade model in form of the Liege-Saclay formulation incorporated in the PHITS code. The data are angle-integrated proton spectra from reactions with alpha-particle energies below 720 MeV and excitation functions from multi neutron emission with a-particle energies below 200 MeV.
