Abstract: The Feshbach-Kerman-Koonin multistep compound theory (MSC)of the pre-equilibrium reaction is further improved and perfected. The nucleon is treated as a spin-half particle, target nucleus is allowed to a non-zero spin and the angular momentum coupling is treated rigorously. The expressions of the double-differential cross section and transition matrix elements are obtained in j-j representation. The strength function of doorway state is replaced by optical model absorption, and the escape width is replaced by decay width of Hauser-Feshbach model (HFM)in the r-space where full equilibrium has been established. A unified expression for MSC of pre-equilibrium reaction and HFM of compound nucleus reaction is presented. This formula can integrate MSC and HFM with the optical model and can give self-consistent and uniform description for nuclear reaction. Some typical data are analyzed by using the work mentioned above. The calculated results are reasonable and in good agreement with the experimental data.
