Exploring nuclear science and promoting equity: A synergistic approach to education and outreach
The American Nuclear Society’s online programs continue to provide informative content for the wider nuclear community. Two recent webinars held at the end of January focused on intentional outreach activities and K-12 education: “Equitable Outreach: Now Comes the Hard Part” and “Quest for Gold: Exploring Nuclear Transmutation.”

An optical model potential for neutron-antimony isotopes collision systems is obtained at the incident energies up to 200 MeV. Cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra and double differential cross sections for neutron-induced reactions on 121Sb, 123Sb and natural Sb are consistently calculated and analyzed at incident energies below 20 MeV by using theoretical nuclear models for nuclear energy applications. The calculated results are compared with experimental data and the evaluated data from CENDL-3 and JENDL-4.
