Abstract
A new global formula for the (n,p) cross section around 14 MeV is obtained. This formula uses two parameters and gives the cross section in terms of the parameter (N-Z+1)/A instead of the more generally used parameter (N-Z)/A. The predictions of this formula are compared with those of previous formulae and with the experimental data over a wide range of nuclei. This formula is found to give a better fit to the data than previous comparable formulae.Keywords
