The excitation function and cross-sections of the reaction F-19(p,p'gamma)F
-19, for the two exit channels y(1) = 110 keV gamma(2) = 197 keV for proton
s in the energy range 0.75-2.8 MeV were measured, with an accurate method n
ot dependent on the absolute values of the number of incident protons (beam
charge collection) and of the target thickness. Accurate values of cross-s
ections are needed to implement a code to determine the concentration of fl
uorine in thick and intermediate samples analysed by proton-induced gamma-r
ay emission (PIGE). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
