The production cross-section of 68 Ge, 69 Ge, 65 Zn and 67 Ga radioisotopes from alpha induced nuclear reaction with nat Zn have been measured using stacked foil activation technique followed by the off-line γ-ray spectroscopy in the incident alpha energy range 14.47-37 MeV. In this study we have presented cross-sections for nat Zn(α,x) 68 Ge, nat Zn(α,x) 69 Ge, nat Zn(α,x) 65 Zn and nat Zn(α,x) 67 Ga reactions. The obtained nuclear reaction cross-sections are compared with previous experimental data available in the EXFOR data library and theoretical results, calculated using TALYS nuclear reaction code. We have also performed the detailed uncertainty analysis for these nuclear reactions and their respective covariance metrics are presented. Since α-induced reactions are important in astrophysics, nuclear medicine, and improving the nuclear reaction codes so needful corrections related to the coincidence summing factor and the geometric factor have been considered during the data analysis in the present study.
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.
