Experimental investigation and nuclear model calculations on proton-induced reactions on highly enriched 114Cd at low energies

Production of 111In and 114mIn by proton induced reactions: an update on excitation functions, chemical separation – purification and recovery of target material

“…The largest part of the available cross section values, published in [8,10,27,[31][32][33][34][35][36], was already documented in the recent compilation published by IAEA in 2011 [11]. Three additional studies ( [29,30] and this work) confirm the general behaviour of the excitation function.…”

“…The excitation curve for the (p,2n) reaction shows a maximum of 340 mb around 17 MeV (Figure 7). Two earlier studies were performed on enriched 114 Cd targets: the results of Said et al [32] are rather scattered while values published by Tárkányi et al [33] are about 15% lower than our data but the two sets show overall the same behaviour. The values found in the TENDL-2012 library follow closely the Tárkány et al [33] data.…”

EMPIRE: Nuclear Reaction Model Code System for Data Evaluation

“…The code has also been used in Refs. [156][157][158] Finally, we mention the application of EMPIRE to neutron-induced reactions in microelectronics [159].…”

“…: EMPIRE based evaluation of (n,2n) cross sections on isotopes of dysprosium. We note that experimental data are available for only the three neutron deficient isotopes156,158,160 Dy, with relative abundances of 0.06, 0.1 and 2.34% respectively.…”

Cross sections of proton induced nuclear reactions on natural cadmium leading to the formation of radionuclides of indium

“…The most important input files are those recommended by global nucleon optical model potentials [25]. In order to obtain the isomeric level population cross section the technique used by Said et al [26] was applied, where the γ -transitions between populated discrete levels are followed starting from higher lying discrete levels and end with the long-lived metastable state, so that the total complete feeding (rather than the feeding from continuum calculated in the original EMPIRE code) to the metastable state can be identified from the residual nucleus production cross section.…”
