Cross sections of deuteron-induced reactions on Sb-nat up to 50 MeV

the frame of a systematic study of the activation cross sections of deuteron-induced nuclear reactions, excitation functions for formation of Te-118,Te-119m,Te-119g,Te-121m,Te-121g,Te-123m, Sb-118m,Sb-120m,Sb-122g,Sb-124g and Sn-117m on Sb-nat targets were determined up to 50 MeV. Cross sections were measured with the activation method using a stacked foil irradiation technique. Excitation functions of the investigated reactions were compared with data reported in literature and results of theoretical calculations made by the TALYS code. From the measured cross section data integral thick target yields were calculated and compared with experimental integral yield data reported in the literature. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
