Excitation functions of some deuteron-induced nuclear reactions on Al

Excitation functions of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on enriched 78 Kr with particular relevance to the production of 76 Br

Excitation functions of the Kr(d, α)Br, Kr(d, n)Rb and Kr(d, x)Kr reactions were measured for the first time in the energy range up to 13 MeV using the stacked gas cell technique and activation method. Highly enriched Kr was used as target material. The maximum cross section of the Kr(d, α)Br reaction at 13 MeV amounts to 21 mb and the calculated yield of Br over the energy range Ed = 13 → 4 Me...

Cross sections of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on metal targets

In the frame of a systematic study activation cross sections of a few hundred deuteron induced reactions were measured up to 50MeV on 25 metal targets having mostly natural isotopic composition. The majority of them have been measured for the first time. The recently measured data are still in the evaluation process. The experimental data were compared to the predictions of different theoretica...

Excitation of Giant Resonances in Deuteron Stripping Reactions on 10B far below the Coulomb Barrier

The reaction threshold for deuteron induced reactions on B amounts to 25.2 MeV, which enables an excitation of the giant resonances (GR) in the compound nucleus C even at very low projectile energies. In our recent experimental and theoretical investigations of the B(d,p)B reaction, we have found a strong reaction contribution arising from the giant dipole resonance (GDR) excitation. This kind ...

Excitation functions of (nat)Zn(p,x) nuclear reactions with proton beam energy below 18 MeV.

We measured the excitation functions of (nat)Zn (p,x) reactions up to 17.6MeV, using the stacked-foils activation technique. High-purity natural zinc (and copper) foils were irradiated with proton beams generated by an 18MeV isochronous cyclotron. Activated foils were measured using high-purity Ge gamma spectroscopy to quantify the radionuclides (61)Cu, (66)Ga, (67)Ga, and (65)Zn produced from ...
