Description

We explore the de-excitation of highly excited $^{11}$B$^*$ by use of the TALYS and GEMINI++ codes, which can deal with the decay of a compound nucleus by a series of sequential binary decays. For a liquid scintillator detector, the residual nucleus $^{11}$B$^*$ can be produced by neutrino interactions with $^{12}$C or proton decays in $^{12}$C. We use both the TALYS and GEMINI++ codes to estimate the de-excitation branching ratios of $^{11}$B$^*$ for a given excitation energy spectrum. It is found that the TALYS calculation can partly account for the current experimental results. Note that the preliminary result from GEMINI++ can give a better agreement with the experimental data.
