Abstract

A measurement has been performed of the variation of the integrated cross section for the 12C (p, n)12N reaction leading to the ground state of 12N. The incident proton energy range covered was from the reaction threshold at 18.9 MeV to 50 MeV. The cross section exhibits resonance structure reaching about 4 mb at excitation energies in 13N of 21 and 24 MeV with a broader possible resonance around 27 MeV.

    It should however be noted that this leads to underestimating the contribution of the short-lived isotope (12N) with respect to the long-lived ones (11C and 15O). The cross-section data used are experimental cross-sections measured as a function of the energy extracted from the EXFOR database [44] for 11C and 15O and [45] for 12N. Reaction position distributions are reconstructed from cross-section data by taking, for each energy point for which an experimental cross-section value exists, the corresponding depth in PMMA considering an incoming proton beam of 55 MeV (determined using an energy-depth characteristic curve obtained from the GEANT4 simulation) and, for this depth, by multiplying the cross-section by the fluence in order to account for the slight decrease in beam fluence with depth (the fluence as a function of the depth is also determined using the GEANT4 simulation).
