Abstract

Excitation functions for the formation of the radionuclides ⁵¹Cr, ⁵²Mn and ⁵⁴Mn via deuteron-induced activation of natural iron were measured up to deuteron energies of 35 MeV. The available experimental databases of the reaction products ⁵¹Cr, ⁵²Mn and ⁵⁴Mn were extended and compared with the nuclear model calculations using the TALYS code. The model calculations reproduce our measured data after a careful choice of the input model parameters. Some information obtained on competition between the emission of multinucleons and a bound α-particle.

Keywords: natFe+d process; radionuclides 51Cr; and 52,54Mn; activation technique; cross section; excitation function; TALYS calculation
