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.
