Investigation of cross sections of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on selenium up to 50 MeV

Abstract

In the frame of a systematic study of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on all elements, activation cross sections on ^{mathrm {nat}}Se were investigated. Excitation functions were measured up to 50 MeV particle energy for production of ^{mathrm {82}}Br(m+),^{mathrm {80m}}Br, ^{mathrm {77}}Br(m+),^{mathrm {76}}Br(m+), ^{mathrm {75}}Br, ^{mathrm {75}}Se(cum), ^{mathrm {73}}Se(cum), ^{mathrm {76}}As,^{mathrm {74}}As, ^{mathrm {73}}As(cum), ^{mathrm {72}}As and ^{mathrm {71}}As(cum) by using the activation method through stacked foil irradiation followed by off-line gamma-ray spectrometry. The experimental results were compared to the earlier experimental data and to excitation functions calculated with the ALICE-D and EMPIRE-D theoretical model codes and data given in the TENDL-2019 on-line library based on TALYS calculations.
