Production cross-sections for the residual radionuclides from the nat Cd(p, x) nuclear processes (original) (raw)

Abstract

We measured the production cross-sections of the 107,111m,115g Cd, 108m,108g,109g,110m,110,111g,113m,114m, 115m,116m In and 104g,105g,106m,110m,111g,113g Ag radionuclides for proton-induced reactions on cadmium by using a stacked-foil activation technique in the energy rangy between 3 and 40 MeV at the MC-50 cyclotron of the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Science. The measured cross-sections were compared with the available literature data and the theoretical calculations by the model codes TALYS and ALICE-IPPE. The integral yields for thick targets were also obtained from the measured cross-sections of the produced radionuclides. The measured cross-sections, especially the indium (In) radionuclides have a significance for various practical applications; thin layer activation analysis, nuclear medicine, nuclear technology, radioactive waste handling, etc.

et al. [15] and Tarkanyi et al. [1] obtained by irradiating "*'Cd and also with the theoretical data from the TALYS code for the whole investigated energy region. However, Kormali’s data and our data below 25 MeV are lower than others. Otozai et al. [19] and Skakun et al. [20] measured the excitation function of !°In by irradiating enriched '!°Cd target. The measured data were also compared with their data [19,20] converted to natural isotopic composition, and agreed with each other.
