ABSTRACT:
The
studies performed in the frame of a project destined for the search of new
(t,n) and (p,n) reactions of interest in nuclear reactors are described.
Experimental evidences of the observations of the reactions: 46Ti(t,n)48V, 48Ti(p,n)48V, 52Cr(t,n)54Mn, 56Fe(p,n)56Co, 72Ge(t,n)74As and 74Ge(p,n)74As,
are presented. Additional data on some secondary reactions, already
characterised for the production of 7Be, 56Co, 58Co, 65Zn and 88Y, were also obtained. The significance of
these data is discussed.
