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

Abstract

SummaryCross sections of proton induced nuclear reactions onnatCd, leading to the formation of110gIn,111In,113mIn, and116m1In 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 radionuclides110gIn,111In,113mIn and116m1In were also calculated.
