Abstract

In the framework of a systematic study of proton induced nuclear reactions on lanthanides we have measured the excitation functions on natural cerium for the production of (142,139,138m,137)pr, Ce-141.139,Ce-137m,Ce-137g,Ce-135 and La-133 up to 65 MeV proton energy using the activation method with stacked foil irradiation technique and high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. The cross-sections of the investigated reactions were compared with the data retrieved from the TENDL-2014 and TENDL-2015 libraries, based on the latest version of the TALYS code system. No earlier experimental data were found in the literature.

The measured cross-section data are important for further improvement of nuclear reaction models and for practical applications in nuclear medicine, other labeling and activation studies. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
