Abstract

Realistic model calculations are fundamental to any physical problem. The statistical model continues to remain one of the important theoretical basis formalism in the nuclear reaction and structure field, which is based on the theory of compound nuclei. In this work, we have compared the recently measured binding energies from The Atomic Mass Evaluation 2020 with statistical model calculation. This comparison becomes very important from the fact that code calculates everything from excitation energy Q-value of reaction to cross-sections based on binding energy and is used frequently by nuclear research communities throughout the world. We have given a brief explanation of how code calculates and comparison of calculated Binding energy with recently measured binding energies from The Atomic Mass Evaluation 2020. A total of 254 stable nuclides binding energies are compared. Statistical model calculations are presented for spin distribution of fusion cross-section for different diffusive parameters for two different reactions are shown and nuclear level density using different formalisms are also presented
