Activation cross sections for proton-induced reactions on calcium isotopes up to 5·6 MeV

Calcium fluoride, of natural isotopic composition and isotopically enriched, was activated with proton beams up to 5·6 MeV using a Van de Graaff accelerator. Activation cross sections were determined by γ-ray spectrometry for the reactions: 43 Ca(p,n) 43 Sc; 44 Ca(p,n) 44 Sc and 48 Ca(p,n) 48 Sc . T...

Summary:Calcium fluoride, of natural isotopic composition and isotopically enriched, was activated with proton beams up to 5·6 MeV using a Van de Graaff accelerator. Activation cross sections were determined by γ-ray spectrometry for the reactions: 43 Ca(p,n) 43 Sc; 44 Ca(p,n) 44 Sc and 48 Ca(p,n) 48 Sc . The relative accuracy of the excitation functions is ±5 per cent except for the reaction 43Ca( p, n) 43Sc, where the accuracy is ±8 per cent.
