Abstract. In the frame of a systematic study activation cross sections of a few hundred deuteron induced reactions were measured up to 50 MeV 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 theoretical codes. For better description developments of the theoretical models are in progress. The measured data find application in medical radioisotope production, thin layer activation and accelerator technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
