Abstract:
Attempts have been made to measure the activity in irradiated natural Ni material induced by α-particles in the energy
range 10-40 MeV followed by stack foil activation technique. Activity induced has been determined through the cross-sections
obtained from various reactions for 58Ni(α, p)
61Cu, 58Ni(α, pn)
60Cu, 60Ni(α, p2n)
61Cu, 60Ni(α, n)
63Zn, 60Ni(α, 2n)
62Zn,61Ni
(α, 3n)
62Zn and 61Ni(α, 2n)
63Zn in α+natNi interaction at different beam energies has been found to vary from 10-26 microns.
