Abstract
This research explores the activation cross sections of several neodymium (Nd) and cerium (Ce) radionuclides generated by proton-induced reactions on praseodymium-141 (141Pr) within an energy range of 27 to 60 MeV. The study specifically focuses on the production pathways 141PrNd and 141PrCe. The experimental excitation functions obtained are compared with theoretical predictions from the TALYS code and existing literature. The comparison demonstrates a good agreement between the experimental and theoretical results.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
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. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
