Abstract
Excitation functions for the reactions induced by alpha particles on Ti-nat
foils and leading to the formation of Sc-44m,Sc-44g,Sc-46,Sc-47,Sc-48; Cr-
48,Cr-51 and V-48 were determined using the stacked foil technique for ener
gies from the respective reaction thresholds up to 42 MeV. The new experime
ntal values are compared to earlier literature values and generally good ac
cordance is found. It appears that the Ti-nat(alpha,x)Cr-51 reaction is par
ticularly useful for monitoring alpha-beams in the 10-20 MeV region while f
or energies above 20 MeV the Ti-nat(alpha,x)Sc-47 reaction or the Ti-nat(al
pha,x)V-48 reaction are more suited. The excitation functions established c
an be used to determine calibration curves for thin layer activation (TLA)
as well. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
