ABSTRACT
The final chapter discuss the theoretical models for nuclear reactions that are essential for analysis and interpretation of the data obtained in an experiment. The basic theoretical models for elastic and inelastic scattering and transfer reactions are described in the framework of the coupled channel theory, which is the most updated direct reaction theory in nuclear physics. The Hauser Fesbach theory for compound nuclear reaction is also discussed with detailed derivation for the working formula. The different available computer codes based upon these theoretical models that are available either commercially or freely are mentioned along with their basic objectives and limitations.
