Abstract
The stacked-foil activation technique followed by off line high-purity Ge γ-ray spectroscopy was used for the measurement of the excitation functions for energies up to 50 MeV for the 165Ho(α, 2n) 167Tm, 165Ho(α, 3n) 166Tm, and 165Ho(α, 4n) 165Tm reactions. The measured excitation functions were compared with theoretical predications considering equilibrium as well as pre-equilibrium reaction mechanisms according to the geometry-dependent hybrid (GDH) model of Blann using computer code ALICE-91. The high-energy parts of the excitation functions are due to the pre-equilibrium reaction mechanism, while the low-energy parts are mediated by compound-nucleus decay. It was found that the compound-nucleus-decay mechanism alone is unable to explain the experimental trend of our data. The pre-equilibrium fraction was also calculated. PACS Nos.: 22.55.–e, 27.60.+j
