Recent advances in compound nuclear reaction theory and its applications

=Abstract=

Despite its rather old-fashioned appearance, the statistical theory for a compound nuclear reaction still plays an important role in calculating nucleon-nucleus interaction in the keV to MeV energy region, and indeed improvement for better predictive capabilities is

one of the active research areas. In this talk we present a few topics regarding the recent progress in the statistical nuclear reaction theory, which consists of the unification of the coupled-channels formalism and the Hauser-Feshbach theory, inclusion of the nuclear structure ingredients, and some applications to the post-fission and beta-delayed observable calculations.
