Activation Cross Sections for Deuteron-Induced Reactions on some Elements of the First Transition Series, up to 5.5 MeV

Abstract

Deuteron, activation was carried out with deuteron beams up to 5.5 MeV with a Van de Graaff accelerator. Absolute cross sections were determined by gamma-ray spectroscopy using a Ge(Li)-and/or NaI(Tl)-detector. Excitation functions were obtained for the nuclear reactions : 60 Cr(d,p)"Cr; 56 Mn(d,p) 6e Mn; 68 Ni(d,n) 59 Cu; M Zn(d,n) es Ga; "Cr(d, <x)"V ; 54 Fe(d, n) 55 Co ; eo Ni(d,n) el Cu.

Excitation Functions of (d,n) and (d,α) Reactions on 54Fe: Relevance to the Production of High Purity 55\Co at a Small Cyclotron

“…The magnitudes of cross sections are, however, somewhat different. Our data agree very well with the measurement of Coetzee and Peisach [17] up to 5.5 MeV, and of Tao Zhenlan et al [14] between 7.7 and 13 MeV. Those two measurements were done using high-resolution Ge(Li) detector y-ray spectrometry.…”

“…1 as a function of deuteron energy. The literature values [12][13][14]17] based on measurements using natural iron are also given. The shapes of the curves are more or less similar and the maxima occur at the same energy.…”

“…Refs. [12][13][14]17]. The activity was determined in one case using a GM counter [12] and in the other a low resolution y-detector [13].…”

Proton and deuteron activation measurements at the NPI and future plans in SPIRAL2/NFS

“…The present data are shown in Figs. 1-10 in comparison with EXFOR database [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] data and with evaluated data from the EAF 2007 [18] and TENDL 2014 [19] libraries. All evaluated data are corrected/normalized to the natural abundance of the sample.…”

Extension of experimental activation cross-sections database of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on manganese up to 50 MeV

“…In spite of the scientific and practical interest, only a couple of authors published cross section data on deuteron induced reactions on Mn. Gilly et al [3], Baron et al [4] and Coetzee et al [5] studied the excitation functions of (d, p) reactions up to 12 MeV. Ochiai et al [6] measured the cross section of the activation product 54 Mn at 39.5 MeV and our group investigated the excitation functions for the production of 56,54,52 Mn and 51 Cr (Ditroi et al [7]).…”
