Beschreibung:
<jats:p>Since its introduction in the seventies’, the so-called surrogate-reaction method (SRM) has motivated the development and improvement of theories in connection to direct reactions. A recent work by Bouland and Noguère, Phys. Rev. C <jats:bold>102</jats:bold>, 054608 (2020), has shown that the inclusion of experimental probabilities in the neutron cross section evaluation process can be better achieved using tools resulting from the efforts made over the two last decades. In particular, the authors have put forward a new prescription, named after the SRM as extended SRM (ESRM), to convert, with reasonable confidence, probabilities measured in direct reactions to pseudo-experimental neutron-induced reaction cross sections. Applied to the <jats:sup>174</jats:sup>Yb(<jats:sup>3</jats:sup>He,py)<jats:sup>176</jats:sup>Lu* transfer reaction, the ESRM has demonstrated much more precision than the early use of the SRM. In addition to the ‘direct’ analysis of reaction probabilities measured in direct reactions using the right modeling as developed in Phys. Rev. C <jats:bold>100</jats:bold>, 064611 (2019), it is worth to try converting the measured probabilities in pseudo experimental neutron-induced cross sections for neutron reactor data applications. In the present paper, first results, before conversion, are shown by applying the two ESRM equations to a fissile isotope.</jats:p>
