Excitation functions for the 24Mg(d,α)22Na, 26Mg(d,α)24Na and 27Al(d,αp)24Na reactions

Investigation of the 27Al(d,x)24Na nuclear reaction for deuteron beam monitoring purpose

“…Numerous authors [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] have already investigated the 27 Al(d,x) 24 Na reaction due to its importance in the beam monitoring applications. 24 Na nuclear reaction.…”

RADIOACTIVITIES PRODUCED IN COMMONLY USED MATERIALS BY PROTON AND DEUTERON BEAMS UP TO 10 MeV

“…First, the small natural abundance of 13 C reduces the radioactivity from this reaction by two orders of magnitude for a natural carbon target. Second, the activity will be small because the 14 C half-life is long; i.e., it takes more radioactive The threshold for the 27 Al(d, ap) 24 Na reaction is 5.8 MeV, but measured excitation functions 46,47 for this reacnuclei to produce a given activity if the half-life is longer. Third, the 14 C decay produces only a low-energy b-partition indicate that the cross section is small below 10 MeV.…”

“…44 This fitted cross section curve is shown in Fig. A, and Cross sections for the 47 Ti(d, n) reaction and for the (d, a) reactions on 46 Ti, 48 Ti, and 49 Ti have been deterthe thick-target yield is given in Fig. 3.…”

“…for the medium-weight target nuclei in Table I. Thresholds for the (p, a) reactions on 46 Ti, 47 Ti, 49 Ti, and 50 Ti Deuteron-Induced Radioactivities range from 2.0 to 3.2 MeV. The (p, a) reaction on 48 Ti, the most abundant isotope, produces no radioactivity.…”

“…The (p, n) reactions on 47 Ti and 48 Ti have lower In application to alloys, these yields need to be reduced thresholds of 3.78 and 4.90 MeV, respectively, and their according to the particular alloy's composition to obtain cross sections have been measured. 15 Smooth fits were the activation intensity as will be illustrated under Exammade to these cross sections to determine the thick-target ples of Use of Tables and Figures. yields in Fig.…”
