Excitation functions of proton induced nuclear reactions on natural tungsten up to 34 MeV

Abstract

Excitation functions were measured by the activation method up to 35MeV for the production of 181,182m,182g,183,184g,186Re and 177,183Ta radioisotopes for application purposes via proton induced reactions on W. The new data were compared with earlier reported experimental cross-sections and integral yield data. An acceptable agreement was found between our values and the literature data in the overlapping low energy regions. The available experimental data were analyzed and compared with the calculated results of the theoretical model code ALICE-IPPE.
