The cross sections of the nuclear reactions induced by neutrons at $E_n$= 14.6 MeV on the isotopes of Dy, Er, Yb with emission of neutrons, proton and alpha-particle are studied by the use of new experimental data and different theoretical approaches. New and improved experimental data are measured by the neutron-activation technique. The experimental and evaluated data from EXFOR, TENDL, ENDF libraries are compared with different systematics and calculations by codes of EMPIRE~3.0 and TALYS~1.2. Contribution of pre-equilibrium decay is discussed. Different systematics for estimations of the cross-sections of considered nuclear reactions are tested.

The $gamma$-process in core-collapse and/or type Ia supernova explosions is thought to explain the origin of the majority of the so-called $p$ nuclei (the 35 proton-rich isotopes between Se and Hg). Reaction rates for $gamma$-process reaction network
studies have to be predicted using Hauser-Feshbach statistical model calculations. Recent investigations have shown problems in the prediction of $alpha$-widths at astrophysical energies which are an essential input for the statistical model. It has an impact on the reliability of abundance predictions in the upper mass range of the $p$ nuclei. With the measurement of the $^{164,166}$Er($alpha$,n)$^{167,169}$Yb reaction cross sections at energies close to the astrophysically relevant energy range we tested the recently suggested low energy modification of the $alpha$+nucleus optical potential in a mass region where $gamma$-process calculations exhibit an underproduction of the $p$ nuclei. Using the same optical potential for the $alpha$-width which was derived from combined $^{162}$Er($alpha$,n) and $^{162}$Er($alpha$,$gamma$) measurement makes it plausible that a low-energy modification of the optical $alpha$+nucleus potential is needed.
We have performed high precision measurements of the zero-energy neutron scattering amplitudes of gas phase molecular hydrogen, deuterium, and $^{3}$He using neutron interferometry. We find $b_{mathit{np}}=(-3.7384 pm 0.0020)$ fmcite{Schoen03}, $b_{m
athit{nd}}=(6.6649 pm 0.0040)$ fmcite{Black03,Schoen03}, and $b_{n^{3}textrm{He}} = (5.8572 pm 0.0072)$ fmcite{Huffman04}. When combined with the previous world data, properly corrected for small multiple scattering, radiative corrections, and local field effects from the theory of neutron optics and combined by the prescriptions of the Particle Data Group, the zero-energy scattering amplitudes are: $b_{mathit{np}}=(-3.7389 pm 0.0010)$ fm, $b_{mathit{nd}}=(6.6683 pm 0.0030)$ fm, and $b_{n^{3}textrm{He}} = (5.853 pm .007)$ fm. The precision of these measurements is now high enough to severely constrain NN few-body models. The n-d and n-$^{3}$He coherent neutron scattering amplitudes are both now in disagreement with the best current theories. The new values can be used as input for precision calculations of few body processes. This precision data is sensitive to small effects such as nuclear three-body forces, charge-symmetry breaking in the strong interaction, and residual electromagnetic effects not yet fully included in current models.
The cross-sections and analyzing powers for $(p,n)$ reactions on ${}^{3}{rm He}$ and ${}^{4}{rm He}$ have been measured at a bombarding energy of $T_p$ = 346 MeV and reaction angles of $theta_{rm lab}$ = $9.4^{circ}$--$27^{circ}$. The energy transf
er spectra for ${}^{3}{rm He}(p,n)$ at large $theta_{rm lab}$ ($ge$ $16^{circ}$) are dominated by quasielastic contributions, and can be reasonably reproduced by plane-wave impulse approximation (PWIA) calculations for quasielastic scattering. By contrast, the known $L$ = 1 resonances in ${}^{4}{rm Li}$ are clearly observed near the threshold in the ${}^{4}{rm He}(p,n)$ spectra. Because these contributions are remarkable at small angles, the energy spectra are significantly different from those expected for quasielastic scattering. The data are compared with the PWIA calculations, and it is found that the quasielastic contributions are dominant at large $theta_{rm lab}$ ($ge$ $22^{circ}$). The nuclear correlation effects on the quasielastic peak for ${}^{4}{rm He}(p,n)$ are also discussed.
The exotic phenomenon of two-neutron halos and 2n-radioactivity are explored in the neutron-rich $^{40,42,44}$Mg by employing various variants of the relativistic mean-field approach. The extended tail of spatial density distributions including the e
nhanced neutron radii and skin thickness, pairing correlations, single-particle spectrum and wave functions predict $^{40,42,44}$Mg to be strong candidates for deformed neutron halos. Weakening of magicity at N$=$28 plays a significant role in the existence of a weakly bound halo in $^{40}$Mg which is currently the heaviest isotope of Mg accessible experimentally. Large deformation, mixing of f-p shell Nilsson orbitals and the valence neutron occupancy of p-states leads to a reduced centrifugal barrier and broader spatial density distributions that favour 2n-radioactivity in $^{42,44}$Mg.
The reaction pi- d -> n n gamma is calculated in chiral perturbation theory so as to facilitate an extraction of the neutron-neutron scattering length (a_nn). We include all diagrams up to O(Q^3). This includes loop effects in the elementary pi- p ->
gamma n amplitude and two-body diagrams, both of which were ignored in previous calculations. We find that the chiral expansion for the ratio of the quasi-free (QF) to final-state-interaction (FSI) peaks in the final-state neutron spectrum converges well. Our third-order calculation of the full spectrum is already accurate to better than 5%. Extracting a_nn from the shape of the entire pi- d -> n n gamma spectrum using our calculation in its present stage would thus be possible at the +-0.8 fm level. A fit to the FSI peak only would allow an extraction of a_nn with a theoretical uncertainty of +-0.2 fm. The effects that contribute to these error bars are investigated. The uncertainty in the $nn$ rescattering wave function dominates. This suggests that the quoted theoretical error of +-0.3 fm for the most recent pi- d -> n n gamma measurement may be optimistic. The possibility of constraining the nn rescattering wave function used in our calculation more tightly--and thus reducing the error--is briefly discussed.
