Cross sections for the formation of 114mIn and 116mIn on bombardment of cadmium by deuterons

Abstract

Cross sections for 114mIn and 116mIn production by ( d, xn) reactions on natural cadmium were measured by the stacked foils activation method. The results are compared with the maximum cross sections estimated from other published studies. (1-3) Thick target yield for Cd ( d, xn) 114mIn reactions were determined for different irradiation times and as a function of deuteron energy.
