Abstract

The 100Mo(p, n)100Tc reaction cross section was determined from 2 to 11 MeV (c.m.), by counting the delayed γ-rays from the 100Tc decays (half-life = 15.8 s). These yields were measured with Ge(Li) and NaI(Tl) detectors and thick natural Mo targets. The use of this reaction as a normalizing reaction for cross-section measurements with a rapid target-transfer system is discussed. This technique was applied to the measurement of the astrophysically interesting 23Na(p, n)23Mg cross section (23Mg half-life = 11.57s). The results agree well with an independent 23Na(p, n)23Mg cross-section measurement.

      For the comparison if needed the earlier experimental data were corrected according to the new decay data and where it was possible the isotopic cross-section data were weighted and summed in order to obtain values for natural isotopic composition. To avoid repetition in comparison of the new results with the earlier data and to review the earlier experimental data the summary of the earlier measurements are collected in Table 3 [9,29–65]. In some recent works of Lebeda and Pruszynski [62], Takács et al. [7,8], Khandaker et al. [58] the proper γ-lines for determination of the produced activity, the necessary decay equations and corrections for the interferences in some of the studied radionuclides were discussed in detail.
