Measurement of the production cross-sections of natCd(p,x) reactions up to 45 MeV

초록

In this experimental study, we usednatCd as the target material and bombarded it with a 45-MeV energetic proton beam to study the natCd(p,x) reaction and determine the production cross-sections of In-109g,In-110g,In-111g,In-113m,In-114m,In-115m, Cd-107,Cd-109,Cd-115g, and Ag-105,Ag-106m,Ag-110m,Ag-111g radionuclides. The external beam line of the MC-50 cyclotron installed at Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences (South Korea) was used for the activation. We applied the well-known stacked-foil activation technique to measure the excitation functions of the reaction products. The active foils were analyzed using an offline gamma-ray spectrometry system to measure the production cross-sections. We also determined the thick target yield using the cross-section values. Subsequently, the measured results were compared with the theoretical model calculations using TALYS 1.9 code. In summary, the( nat)Cd(p,x) reaction is considerable because of its reaction products that have potential medical and industrial applications.
