Cross sections for nuclide production in 1 GeV proton-irradiated 208-Pb


Abstract in English

114 cross sections for nuclide production in a 1.0 GeV proton-irradiated thin 208Pb target have been measured by the direct gamma spectrometry method using a high-resolution Ge detector. The gamma spectra were processed by the GENIE-2000 code. The ITEP-developed SIGMA code was used together with the PCNUDAT nuclear decay database to identify the gamma lines and to determine the cross sections. The 27Al(p,x)22Na reaction was used to monitor the proton flux. Results of a feasibility study of the auxiliary 27Al(p,x)24Na and 27Al(p,x)7Be monitor reactions in the 0.07-2.6 GeV proton-energy range are presented as well. Most of the experimental data have been analyzed by the LAHET (with ISABEL and Bertini options), CEM95, CEM2k, INUCL, CASCADE, CASCADE/INPE, and YIELDX codes that simulate hadron-nucleus interactions.
