Abstract:
A newly developed facility at the 3 MV Tandem Accelerator at Dhaka for
measurement of proton induced reaction cross sections in the energy region below 5 MeV is outlined and tests for the beam characterization are described. The
results were validated by comparison with the well-known excitation function of the 64 Ni(p, n) 64 Cu reaction. Excitation functions of the reactions nat Ni(p, x) 60,61 Cu, nat Ni(p, x) 55,57,58 m + g Co and nat Ni(p, x) 57 Ni were also measured from threshold to 16 MeV using
the stacked-foil technique, whereby irradiations were performed with 5 MeV protons available at the Tandem Accelerator and 16.7 MeV protons at the BC 1710
cyclotron at Jülich, Germany. The radioactivity was measured using HPGe γ -ray
detectors. A few results are new, the others strengthen the database. In particular, the results of the reaction nat Ni(p, x) 61 Cu below 3 MeV could serve as
beam monitor.
