Activation cross sections of deuteron-induced reactions on niobium up to 24 MeV

Abstract

We measured cross sections of deuteron-induced reactions on a niobium target up to 24 MeV using the stacked-foil activation technique and off-line γ-ray spectrometry. The production cross sections of 93m Mo, 92m Nb and 89 Zr were determined. The results were compared with the experimental data studied earlier and the predictions of theoretical calculations.
