Excitation functions of proton-induced reactions in super(nat)Cu in the energy range 7-17 MeV

Elemental production cross sections were measured for (p,x) reactions on natural Cu targets, leading to the formation of super(62,63,65)Zn. These reactions are generally used for monitoring the proton beam intensity and energy e.g. in isotope production facilities. Cross sections were obtained by ac...

Description
Summary:Elemental production cross sections were measured for (p,x) reactions on natural Cu targets, leading to the formation of super(62,63,65)Zn. These reactions are generally used for monitoring the proton beam intensity and energy e.g. in isotope production facilities. Cross sections were obtained by activation of stacked foils and subsequent gamma spectroscopy. The production data for super(62,63,65)Zn between 7 and 16.5 MeV proton energy are presented as well as comparisons with literature values. Good agreement with the evaluated values was found for most of the cross-section values.
