Activation cross-sections of proton induced reactions on vanadium in the 37-65 MeV energy range

Abstract

Experimental excitation functions for proton induced reactions on natural vanadium in the 37-65 MeV energy range were measured with the activation method using a stacked foil irradiation technique. By using high resolution gamma spectrometry cross-section data for the production of ${}^{51,48}$Cr, ${}^{48}$V, ${}^{48,47,46,44m,44g,43}$Sc and ${}^{43,42}$K were determined. Comparisons with the earlier published data are presented and results predicted by different theoretical codes (EMPIRE and TALYS) are included. Thick target yields were calculated from a fit to our experimental excitation curves and compared with the earlier experimental yield data. Depth distribution curves to be used for thin layer activation (TLA) are also presented.
