The excitation functions for pre-equilibrium reaction mechanisms were calculated by using a hybrid model, a geometry dependent hybrid model, the full exciton model and the cascade exciton model. Equilibrium effects were calculated according to the Weisskopf-Ewing model. The calculation results were also compared with the measurements in literature. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
