title: Experimental studies on excitation functions of the proton-induced activation reactions on silver.
abstract: Excitation functions were measured for the production of 106m,105Ag, 103,101,100Pd, 105,102,101m,100,99Rh and 97Ru via proton-induced activation reactions on natural silver using a stacked foil technique in the energy range 11-80 MeV. The residual activity measurements were carried out nondestructively by the high-resolution HPGe gamma-ray spectroscopy. Thick target integral yields were deduced using the measured cross-sections from the respective threshold energies of the investigated reactions up to 80 MeV. The present work gives new results for the investigated radionuclides. The data in MENDL-2P deduced with the theoretical model code ALICE-IPPE are consistent in shape with the measured values, but show disagreement in magnitude.
