Abstract
Numerous research endeavours have delved into comprehending the dynamics of the (n,3He) reaction cross sections. In this study, a novel and straightforward empirical formula is put forth, aimed at swiftly computing the cross sections of the (n,3He) reaction in the neutron energy range of 14-15 MeV. This new formula has been obtained using outcomes from pre-existing cross section formulas in conjunction with experimental data. The present formulation, hinging on the interplay of A23 parameter, threshold energy (Eth) and incident neutron energy (En) factors, appears to furnish a satisfactory methodology for elucidating the cross sections of the neutron-induced (n,3He) nuclear reaction at 14-15 MeV. Finally, in this paper, a comparison is made between the results of the empirical formula and the experiment.
