Excitation functions of rhenium isotopes on the natw(d, xn) reactions and production of no-carrier-added 186re

Abstract

Experimental cross sections for the reactions 186W(d, 2n)186Re, natW(d, xn)181-184Re and 186W(d, p)187W are measured up to 34 MeV using the stacked target method. The values obtained are compared with cross sections calculated using the ALICE code. The experimental and theoretical excitation functions are in reasonable agreement except for the l86W(d, p)187W reaction. © 2014 Atomic Energy Society of Japan.
