Excitation functions of $^{nat}$Pb(d,x)$^{206,205,204,203,202}$Bi, $^{203cum,202m,201cum}$Pb and $^{202cum,201cum}$Tl reactions up to 50 MeV

Abstract

Cross-sections of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on lead were measured up to 50 MeV using the standard stacked foil irradiation technique and high resolution $γ$-ray spectrometry. Experimental cross-sections and derived integral yields are presented for the $^{nat}$Pb(d,x)$^{206,205,204,203,202}$Bi, $^{203cum,202m,201cum}$Pb and $^{202cum,201cum}$Tl reactions. The experimental data were compared with the results from literature and with the data in the TENDL-2013 library (obtained with TALYS code). The cross-section data were analyzed also with the theoretical results calculated by using the ALICE-IPPPE-D and EMPIRE-D codes.
