Excitation Functions for Radioactive Isotopes Produced by Protons below 60 MeV on Al, Fe, and Cu

Measurement of excitation functions in proton induced reactions on natural copper from their threshold to 43MeV

“…The measured excitation function presented in Fig. 2 is overall in agreement with the literature data [13,14,16,17,[20][21][22][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] as well as the IAEA recommended data [11] and the theoretical values extracted from TENDL-2013 library.…”

“…3 is in good agreement with the literature data [10,[15][16][17]23,38,43] as well as the theoretical results extracted from TENDL-2013 library. However, the data measured by Medows [7] are significantly higher around proton energy of 33-40 MeV and the data reported by Williams et al [28] are significantly lower than the present and literature data as well as the theoretical results extracted from TENDL-2013 library.…”

Calculation and evaluation of cross-sections for p+54,56,57,58,natFe reactions up to 250MeV

“…23. The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental data [66,68,76,[78][79][80][81]83,84,[86][87][88][89] for incident proton energy below 250 MeV. The calculated results for nat Fe(p, x) 55 Co reaction cross-sections are larger than experimental data above 20.0 MeV as shown in Fig.…”

“…The experimental data [62] 56 Co reaction cross-section (solid line) compared with experimental data (symbols) [62,64,66,68,70]. x) 55,56,57,58 Co, nat Fe(p, x) 54 Mn and nat Fe(p, x) 51 Cr reaction cross-sections were given in [66,68,76,[78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90]. The cross-section for nat Fe(p, x) 58 Co and nat Fe(p, x) 57 Co reactions are from 58 Fe(p, n) 58 Co, 58 Fe(p, 2n) 57 Co and 57 Fe(p, n) 57 Co reactions, the calculated results are in good agreement with experimental data below incident proton energy 250.0 MeV.…”
