Production cross sections of products in the proton induced reactions on ^natNd in the energy region up to 45 MeV

The production cross sections of ^{141,143,144,146,148m,148g,149,150}Pm, ^139m,147,149Nd, ^138m,142gPr, and ^139gCe in the ^natNd(p,x) reactions were determined by a stacked-foil activation technique for the proton energy range up to 45 MeV using the MC-50 cyclotron of Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences. The measured cross sections were compared with literature data as well as data from the TENDL-2014 library based on TALYS 1.6. The production cross sections of the above radionuclides are slightly higher than the literature data but are in general agreement with values in TENDL-2014 library except for ^148mPm, ^148gPm, ^139mNd, and ^142gPr. The thick target integral yields of the produced radionuclides were also deducted from the measured cross sections.
