Description
Thick target yields of the natS(α,x)34mCl nuclear reaction were measured in the energy region from 14.2 to 69.5 MeV. Our results were also compared to the only available literature dataset. Cross-sections of the above reaction were also estimated from the obtained thick target yields. Pure natural sulfur used as a target material resulted in a thick target saturation yield of 1557 ± 18 MBq (42.1 ± 0.5 mCi)/μA at 69.5 MeV. The estimated excitation function curve of the natS(α,x)34mCl process showed a maximum cross-section of 122 mbarn at about 27.5 MeV
