Korakas, KostantinosTasioudis, DiamantisNicolis, Nikolaos GeorgeMiliadou, AthanasiaKatsigianni, Theodora-IlektraExperimental excitation functions of isotopes produced in reactions are compared with the results of empirical cross section formulas. We consider excitation functions of 16 isotopes (36Cl, 38Ar, 42,43K, 44Ti, 46,47,48Sc, 48,51Cr, 52Fe, 52,54Mn and 55,56,57Co) produced in reactions at bombarding energies from threshold up to 2.6 GeV. They are compared with the predictions of the empirical formulas of Rudstam, Silberberg-Tsao and SPACS. In the middle-energy range, the formulas provide (in the stated order) a progressively improved description of the experimental excitation functions of the dominant isotopes. At the highest energies, the limiting values of the dominant excitation functions are well described by the EPAX formula (Version 2.1). The predictive power of these formulas could be questioned at low energies close to the threshold, reaction products with a mass much smaller than the target and possibly low cross section channels.application/pdf10.12681/hnps.3620https://eproceedings.epublishing.ekt.gr/index.php/hnps/article/view/3620engHellenic Nuclear Physics Society (HNPS)Πνευματική ιδιοκτησία (c) 2022 Kostantinos Korakas, Athanasia Miliadou, Theodora-Ilektra Katsigianni, Diamantis Tasioudis, Nikolaos George Nicolishttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0Annual Symposium of the Hellenic Nuclear Physics Society2654-00882654-007XAnnual Symposium of the Hellenic Nuclear Physics Society; Τόμ. 28 (2021); 224-227HNPS Advances in Nuclear Physics; Vol. 28 (2021): HNPS2021; 224-227Nuclear ReactionsEmpirical formulasSpallation reactionsIsotope productionEmpirical Description of Isotope Production in 0.01-2.5GeV p+natFe Reactionsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionSimulation2022-10-17Πυρηνική φυσικήNuclear Physicsisi - Physics, Nuclear includes resources on the study of nuclear structure, decay, radioactivity, reactions, and scattering.
