Introduction
4
• The study of NLD based on Bethe’s idea.[*] 2 assumptions: - non-interacting fermions
- single particle states are equidistantin energy.
* H. A. Bethe, Phys. Rev. 50, 336 (1936)
MODEL PARAMETERS FOR NLD

• General pattern for level density parameter is given as:

Particle ID

•TOF and E information were used to separate the charged particles.
•PSD and E information were used to separate the neutrons and the photons.
Calibrations
10
Charged Particle Energ y Calibration
-elastic scattering of Li6 on Gold-elastic scattering of Li7 on Gold-elastic scattering of d on Gold-alpha source of 3 known peaks
Neutron Efficiency Calibration
-Using the result of Al27(d,n) reaction from Massey et al. (Nucl. Sci. andEng.,129,175-179(1998))as standard.
Angular distributions
11
•Angular distribution of compound nuclear reaction is expected to be symmetric about 90 degree.
Break Up Study6Li α + d (Q = -1.47MeV) α + n + p (Q = -3.70MeV) 5He + p (Q = -4.59MeV)
7Li α + t (Q = -2.47MeV) α + d + n (Q = -8.72MeV) 5He + d (Q = -9.61MeV) 6He + p (Q = -9.98MeV) α + 2n + p (Q = -10.95MeV) 5He + n + p (Q = -11.84MeV)
• Is the break up a 1-step process or a 2-step process ?6Li 6Li* … 7Li 7Li* …
Future Prospects
23
• Test data with other models aside Fermi-gas• Quantify the contributions of break up to our evaporation spectra.
• Other experiments under study are :Experiments Z-Zо

Conclusion
24
•Rohr systematic appears to describe well protons spectra but did not do well with alpha spectra because of break-up contributions.•We believe that the alpha spectra up to 8MeV cannot be usedfor estimating level density because of the break up contribution•Our analysis shows that tentative LD parameters can be assigned as follows:
63Ni: a = 8.21/MeV, δ = 1.51MeV63Cu: a = 8.21/MeV, δ = 1.51MeV60Co: a = 8.00/MeV, δ = 0.00MeV
