Proton-induced cross-sections of nuclear reactions on lead up to 37 MeV

Abstract

Excitation function of proton induced nuclear reactions on lead for production of ${}^{206,205,204,203,202,201g}$Bi, ${}^{203cum,202m,201cum}$Pb and ${}^{202cum,201cum,200cum,199cum}$Tl radionuclides were measured up to 36 MeV by using activation method, stacked foil irradiation technique and $\gamma$-ray spectrometry. The new experimental data were compared with the few earlier experimental results and with the predictions of the EMPIRE3.1, ALICE-IPPE (MENDL2p) and TALYS (TENDL-2012) theoretical reaction codes.
