We measure 114 nuclide-production cross sections for an isotopically enriched 208 Pb target bombarded with 1.0 GeV protons. The cross sections are determined using direct ␥ spectrometry with a high-resolution Ge detector. The cross sections are compared to another experiment which used ␥ spectrometry with a natural Pb target; our results average 7.5% less for nuclides measured in common. They are also compared to a kinematically inverse reaction of 1 GeV/nucleon 208 Pb interacting with a hydrogen target; we find our results average 15% higher than those for ͑a different set of͒ common nuclides. We find there is a systematic discrepancy between the cross sections found from the two very different experimental techniques. We also compare our measurements to eight different models. We find most are fairly reliable in predicting cross sections for nuclides not too far away in mass from Pb, but differ greatly in their reliability for nuclides in the deepspallation and fission mass regions. In the spallation region (Aտ155), the CEM2K code, which includes an intranuclear cascade, followed by a preequilibrium stage, leading finally to equilibrium decay, gives the best representation of our data. In the center of the fission/fragmentation mass region, the INUCL code is the most accurate. INUCL includes the same basic ingredients of cascade, preequilibrium, and evaporation, but differs considerably in details. It also contains a comprehensive fission model, which is lacking in CEM2K. No simulation code tested is reliable for the entire mass range of nuclides measured.
This work presents the cross-sections for radioactive nuclide production in 56 Fe(p,x) reactions determined in six experiments using 300, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, and 2600 MeV protons of the external beam from the ITEP U-10 proton accelerator. In total, 221 independent and cumulative yields of radioactive residuals of half-lives from 6.6 min to 312 days have been obtained. The radioactive product nuclide yields were determined by direct g-spectrometry. The measured data have been compared with the experimental data obtained elsewhere by the direct and inverse kinematics methods and with calculation results of 15 different codes that simulated hadron-nucleus interactions: MCNPX (INCL, CEM2k, BERTINI, ISABEL), LAHET (BERTINI, ISABEL), CEM03 (.01, .G1, .S1), LAQGSM03 (.01, .G1, .S1), CASCADE-2004, LAHETO, and BRIEFF. Most of the data obtained here are in a good agreement with the inverse kinematics results and disprove the results of some earlier activation measurements that were quite different from the inverse kinematics measurements. The most significant calculation-to-experiment differences are observed in the yields of the A<30 light nuclei, indicating that further improvements in nuclear reaction models are needed, and pointing out as well to a necessity of more complete experimental measurements of such reaction products.
The work is aimed at experimental determining and computer simulating the independent and cumulative yields of residual product nuclei in the target and structure materials of the transmutation facilities driven by high-current accelerators. The ITEP U-10 accelerator was used in 48 experiments to obtain more than 4000 values of the yields of radioactive residual product nuclei in 0.1-2.
Abstract-The cross sections for nuclide production in thin nat W and 181 Ta targets irradiated by 0.04-2.6-GeV protons have been measured by direct γ spectrometry using two γ spectrometers with the resolutions of 1.8 and 1.7 keV in the 60 Co 1332-keV γ line. As a result, 1895 yields of radioactive residual product nuclei have been obtained. The 27 Al(p, x) 22 Na reaction has been used as a monitor reaction. The experimental data have been compared with the MCNPX (BERTINI, ISABEL), CEM03.02, INCL4.2, INCL4.5, PHITS, and CASCADE07 calculations.
Pb target irradiated by 500MeV protons are presented. A good agreement between these new data and the GSI measurements obtained by the inverse kinematics method was found.
Abstract-The cross sections for the production of148 Gd in nat W and 181 Ta targets irradiated by 0.4-, 0.6-, 0.8-, 1.2-, 1.6-, and 2.6-GeV protons at the ITEP accelerator complex have been measured by direct α spectrometry without chemical separation. The experimental data have been compared with the data obtained at other laboratories and with the theoretical simulations of the yields on the basis of the BERTINI, ISABEL, CEM03.02, INCL4.2, INCL4.5, CASCADE07, and PHITS codes.

The results of experimental and computer simulation studies of the yields of residual product nuclei in 209 Bi thin targets irradiated by 130 MeV and 1.5 GeV protons are presented. The yields were measured by direct high-precision γ-spectrometry. The γ-spectrometer resolution was 1.8 keV in the 1332 keV line. The γ-spectra were processed by the ASPRO code. The γ-lines were identified, and the cross sections defined, by the SIGMA code using the GDISP radioactive database. The process was monitored by the 27 Al(p,x) 24 Na reaction. Results are presented for comparisons between the 209 Bi(p,x) reaction yields obtained experimentally and simulated by the HETC, GNASH, LAHET, INUCL, CEM95, CASCADE, and ALICE codes.
