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

Abstract

We measured activation cross sections of deuteron-induced reactions on 141Pr. The production cross sections of 141,140Nd, 142Pr, and 139Ce were determined up to 24 MeV using the stacked-foil activation technique and high-resolution γ-ray spectrometry. The derived cross sections were compared with experimental data studied earlier and theoretical model calculations. Our results are consistent with part of the previous data.
