Abstract:
Proton induced nuclear reactions were measured with stacked-foil technique on natural zirconium targets up to 16.7 MeV. Excitation functions were measured for the production of (90,92m,95m,95g,96)Nb and (88)Y. Cumulative cross-section, thick target yields and activation functions were deduced and compared with the available experimental data, as well as with the nuclear models codes; ALICE-IPPE. EMPIRE and TALYS. The integral yields for thick targets were deduced from the measured excitation function of the produced radionuclides. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
