Cross sections of proton induced nuclear reactions on natural cadmium leading to the formation of radionuclides of indium

Abstract

Summary Cross sections of proton induced nuclear reactions on nat Cd, leading to the formation of 110g In, 111 In, 113m In, and 116m1 In for energies up to 14.7 MeV were measured using the stacked-foil irradiation technique and high resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. Our experimental data were analyzed and the excitation functions for the studied radionuclides were compared with the previously reported data. Model codes ALICE-IPPE and EMPIRE-II were used for calculating the excitation functions theoretically. Integral yields of the radionuclides 110g In, 111 In, 113m In and 116m1 In were also calculated.
