Extension of the energy range of the experimental activation cross-sections data of longer-lived products of proton induced nuclear reactions on dysprosium up to 65 MeV

摘要

Activation cross-sections data of longer-lived products of proton inducednuclear reactions on dysprosium were extended up to 65 MeV by using stackedfoil irradiation and gamma spectrometry experimental methods. Experimentalcross-sections data for the formation of the radionuclides $^{159}$Dy,$^{157}$Dy, $^{155}$Dy, $^{161}$Tb, $^{160}$Tb, $^{156}$Tb, $^{155}$Tb,$^{154m2}$Tb, $^{154m1}$Tb, $^{154g}$Tb, $^{153}$Tb, $^{152}$Tb and $^{151}$Tbare reported in the 36-65 MeV energy range, and compared with an old datasetfrom 1964. The experimental data were also compared with the results of crosssection calculations of the ALICE and EMPIRE nuclear model codes and of theTALYS nuclear reaction model code as listed in the latest on-line librariesTENDL 2013.
