Activation cross-sections of long lived products of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on dysprosium up to 50MeV

Activation cross-sections for production of 162m,161,155Ho,165,159,157,155Dy and 161,160,156,155Tb radionuclides in deuteron induced nuclear reactions on elemental dysprosium were measured up to 50 MeV for practical application and the test of the predictive power of nuclear reaction model codes. A stacked-foil irradiation technique and off-line gamma-ray spectrometry were used to determine the activities. No earlier cross-section data were found in the literature. The experimental data are compared with the predictions of the ALICE-D, EMPIRE-D and TALYS codes. Integral production yields were calculated from the fitted experimental data

Simulation study of the proton-induced reaction cross sections for the production of F-18 and Ga66-68 radioisotopes

WOS: 000416545300094The excitation functions of O-18(p,n) and Zn66-68(p,xn) reactions were calculated using nuclear model based computer codes for the production of F-18 and Ga66-68 radioisotopes. The model-based calculations, EMPIRE 3.2 Malta, ALICE/ASH and TALYS 1.8 nuclear reaction codes were used for obtaining the cross sections in the production of these radioisotopes. The nuclear reaction model results were compared to the existing experimental values, and TENDL-2015 data. It is generally accepted that the cross section predictions obtained using Superfluid model are preferable for the better description of experimental measurements
