Abstract
Excitation functions of alpha-particle induced nuclear reactions on natSn have been presented in the 11–40 MeV energy range. In the present study, the stacked-foil activation technique followed by offline gamma-ray spectrometry was used to measure the production of 119Te, 121Te, 122Sb and 126Sb from alpha-particle induced reactions on natSn. The TALYS nuclear code was used to calculate the theoretical predictions of the excitation functions of natSn(α,x) nuclear reactions. The measured data of the above-mentioned nuclear reactions were compared with the theoretical predictions and the experimental results available from EXFOR. In this study, covariance analysis was performed to calculate the uncertainty propagation in the measured cross sections.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
