CROSS SECTION AND NEUTRON YIELD FOR PROTON INTERACTION WITH INTERMEDIATE AND HEAVY NUCLEUS

In this study reacting proton with intermediate and heavy nucleus as a target (64Ni, 67Zn, 75As, 103Rh, 111Cd, 114Cd, 165Ho, 169Tm, 186W) the experimental data of cross sections have been published in Exfor library as a function of proton energy. We have calculated the cross section of the above mentioned data and results have been obtained by using (Matlab-8.3 2014a) program. The stopping powers have been calculated from Zeigler formula by using SRIM-2013 with the results of cross sections to calculate the neutron-yield for reactions, and also comparing between cross section for each one of those reactions with published experimental data of cross sections at Exfor library as a function of proton energy to show compatibility, as well as those reactions to be used in the production of radioisotopes such as (64Cu, 67Ga, 75Se, 103Pd, 111In, 114mIn, 165Er, 169Yb, 186Re ), We also did found comparisons between neutron yields of the mentioned reactions to choose the best reactions of highest neutron yield.
