Experimentally measured neutron activation cross sections are presented for the (n,α) , (n,α) , and (n,2n) reactions with detailed uncertainty propagation. The neutron cross sections were measured at an incident energy of 14.92 ± 0.02 MeV, and the neutrons were based on the t(d,n)α fusion reaction. The (n,α) reaction was used as a reference reaction for the normalization of the neutron flux. The pre-calibrated lead-shielded HPGe detector was used to detect the residues' γ-ray spectra. The data from the measured cross sections are compared to the previously measured cross sections from the EXFOR database, theoretically calculated cross sections using the TALYS and EMPIRE codes, and evaluated nuclear data.

The excitation functions of $^{66}$Ga, $^{67}$Ga, $^{65}$Zn and $^{64}$Cu radioisotopes produced via alpha-induced reaction on $^{nat}$Cu were measured using a stacked-foil activation method. The gamma-ray activity produced by the above-mentioned radionuclides was measured using the HPGe detector. The covariance analysis was performed to quantify the measured cross-section uncertainties as well as the correlation between different alpha energy cross sections. A covariance matrix and cross-sections for the $^{nat}$Cu($\alpha$,x)$^{66}$Ga, $^{nat}$Cu($\alpha$,x)$^{67}$Ga, $^{nat}$Cu($\alpha$,x)$^{65}$Zn and $^{nat}$Cu($\alpha$,x)$^{64}$Cu nuclear reactions in the projectile energy range of 15–37 MeV are reported in the present work. The measured reaction cross sections are compared with the existing experimental data and theoretically simulated results from the TALYS code.
