Light charged-particle production from proton- and α-induced reactions on natSi at energies from 25 to 65 MeV

A series of in-beam experiments using proton and a-particle projectiles on Si-nat target has been performed at the Louvain-la-Neuve Cyclotron facility. Inclusive data of double-differential and differential cross sections, as well as total cross sections of all possible light charged particles emitted (p, d, t, He-3, alpha) were measured. The data are compared with the predictions of the nuclear-reaction code TALYS. A detailed discussion of the model calculations and the modifications required to improve the description of the data is presented.
