Reaction cross section / Excitation function / nat Te target / Radioisotopes of iodineSummary. The excitation functions of proton induced nuclear reactions on nat Te were measured using the stackedfoil technique up to 14.5 MeV. Samples of thin uniform layers of nat Te on Ti-backing were prepared by electrodeposition. Nuclear reaction cross sections for the formation of 120g,121,123,124,125,126,128,130(m+g) I were determined and their theoretical thick target yields were calculated. The obtained data were compared with the previously published experimental results and the values obtained theoretically using the ALICE-IPPE computer code.
