Production of light and intermediate mass residual nuclides by proton induced reactions at medium energies — •Mihaela Tutuc1, Rolf Michel1, Sylvie Leray2, and Jean-Christophe David2 — 1Zentrum für Strahlenschutz und Radioökologie, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Herrenhäuserstr. 2, 30419, Hannover, Germany — 2CEA/Saclay, DAPNIA/SPhN, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, Cedex, France
A systematic survey was done for the production of intermediate mass fragments by proton induced reactions. Our study covers all previous available and new data for the production of residual nuclides with masses between 3 and 30, over an energy range extending from thresholds up to 2.6 GeV with targets spreading over the entire chart of nuclides.
Cross sections for the production of residual nuclides are a key issue for medium energy applications. Due to the large range of relevant target elements and the amount of product nuclides it will not be possible to measure all the cross sections needed. One will have to rely widely on models and codes to calculate the required data. In this context, the capabilities of some available codes, Talys and INCL4+ABLA, to predict cross sections for the production of residual nuclides in thin target experiments are tested and a comparison between experiment and theory is made.
