title: Excitation function for 7Be production in carbon by deuteron irradiations up to 50 MeV.
abstract: In order to check and complement available experimental data for production of (7)Be in deuteron irradiation of (nat)C, new measurements with incident particle energy up to 50 MeV were performed. The (7)Be content, measured with HPGe spectroscopy, allows determination of the excitation function of the (nat)C(d,x)(7)Be reactions. A comparison with experimental literature values and results from updated theoretical codes (ALICE-D, EMPIRE-D, EAF2007 and TENDL2010 on-line libraries) is discussed. Thick target yields were derived from fits to our cross-sections and integrated personnel dose was calculated for different irradiation cycles and exposure scenarios around the IFMIF facility.
