Abstract
A newly developed facility at the 3 MV Tandem Accelerator at Dhaka for measurement of proton induced reaction cross sections in the energy region below 5 MeV is outlined and tests for the beam characterization are described. The results were validated by comparison with the well-known excitation function of the 64Ni(p, n)64Cu reaction. Excitation functions of the reactions natNi(p, x)60,61Cu, natNi(p, x)55,57,58m+gCo and natNi(p, x)57Ni were also measured from threshold to 16 MeV using the stacked-foil technique, whereby irradiations were performed with 5 MeV protons available at the Tandem Accelerator and 16.7 MeV protons at the BC 1710 cyclotron at Jülich, Germany. The radioactivity was measured using HPGe γ-ray detectors. A few results are new, the others strengthen the database. In particular, the results of the reaction natNi(p, x)61Cu below 3 MeV could serve as beam monitor.
