Activation cross-sections of longer-lived products of proton induced nuclear reactions on dysprosium up to 36 MeV

摘要

Activation cross-sections of longer-lived products of proton induced nuclear reactions on dysprosium were measured up to 36 MeV by using stacked foil irradiation technique and y-spectrometry. We report for the first time experimental cross-sections for the formation of the radionuclides ~(162m)Ho, ~(161)Ho, ~(159)Ho, ~(159)Dy, ~(157)Dy, ~(155)Dy, ~(161)Tb, ~(160)Tb,~(156)Tb and ~(155)Tb. The experjmental data were compared with the results of cross-section calculations of the ALICE and EMPIRE nuclear model codes and of the TALYS nuclear reaction model code as listed in the on-line libraries TENDL 2011 and TENDL 2012.
