Abstract
Production cross sections and thick target yields of 207Bi, 206Bi, 205Bi, 204Bi, 203Bi, and 203Pb were measured in deuteron-induced reactions on natural lead up to 24 MeV. The stacked-foil activation technique and high-resolution γ-ray spectrometry were used. The excellent agreement between the experimental thick target yields and those derived using our measured cross sections confirms the high reliability of the present experimental data. The measured excitation functions are consistent with most previously published experimental data, providing reliable experimental data across the investigated energy range. Furthermore, the TENDL-2025 library successfully reproduced the cross sections for 207Bi, 205Bi, and 203Pb, but significantly overestimated the production of 206Bi, 204Bi, and 203Bi.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
