Abstract

Excitation functions for the proton-induced activation reactions on Ta were measured as a function of proton energy in the range 28- 70 MeV using the k=110 MeV AVF Cyclotron of Tohoku University. In this work the production of 175,176,177,180Ta, 173,175Hf, 178W and 179Lu radionuclides were investigated. For 181Ta(p,x)176Ta and 181Ta(p,x)179Lu reactions no data existed and for other reactions only contradictory data existed in the literature. Therefore our measurements have given new data for all of these reactions. In most of the cases, the results of this work are consistent with the available literature values.
