Description

Cross section study for proton induced reaction on natural Gadolinium targets were performed. Excitation functions for the reactions natGd(p,x)152m+g,154m,154gTb from threshold up to Ep = 18 MeV have been measured employing the stacked foil activation technique, and using high resolution HPGe gamma spectrometry. Utilizing the simultaneous measurement of the excitation function of natCu(p,x)62Zn, natCu(p,x)63Zn, and natCu(p,x)65Zn as monitor reactions. The theoretical analysis of the excitation functions has been done employing both ALICE-91 and EMPIRE-II codes. In general, theoretical calculations agree well with the experimental data. A significant contribution of pre-equilibrium component has been observed at these energies
