Abstract
In the course of a systematic investigation of proton-induced reactions fifteen target elements ranging from O to Au were irradiated with protons having energies of 600, 800, 1200, 1600 and 2600 MeV. Thin-target cross sections for the production of residual radionuclides were measured by X- and gamma-spectrometry and by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). In this work, we deal exemplarily with the production of 10Be, 22Na and 26Al from target elements (25≤Z≤28). These data are essential for an understanding of the production of cosmogenic nuclides by the interaction of galactic cosmic ray protons with matter. The new cross sections are compared with literature data and discussed in the context of Monte Carlo calculations describing the production cross sections by an intranuclear cascade evaporation model.
