Abstract
This paper presents the experimental double-differential and integral cross sections of reactions (p,xp), and (p,xα) on natCu nucleus. The experiment with the protons, accelerated to energy of 30.0 MeV was performed at the isochronous cyclotron of Institute of Nuclear Physics (Kazakhstan). We investigated the adequacy of the theoretical models in explaining the measured experimental data and contributions of direct, preequilibrium and compound processes in the formation of the cross sections were determined. We assert that the traditional frameworks are valid for the description of the experimental data.
