    70-76Theoretical models often fill significant gap exists in measured data and radioisotopes produced may be used in research, medical and safely disposal of radioactive waste. The excitation functions of 94Mo(p,n)94Tc, 95Mo(p,n)95Tc, 96Mo(p,n)96Tc and 98Mo(p,n)98Tc reactions were investigated using nuclear reaction model codes TALYS-1.95 and EMPIRE-3.2.3 from reaction threshold to 30 MeV. These codes incorporate three major nuclear reaction mechanisms including direct, compound and pre-compound nuclear reactions. Theoretical results obtained from TALYS-1.95 and EMPIRE-3.2.3 codes were compared with existing literature data and found to be in reasonable agreement. Additionally, induced radioactivity estimation is also conducted for a thick Mo target due to the primary interaction of 1μA, 30 MeV proton beam

    216-219Neutron induced reaction cross-sections of the isotopes 52Cr, 53Cr, 90Zr, 91Zr, 92Zr, 94Zr, 116Sn, 118Sn and 120Sn for (n,p), (n,n’), (n,a) and (n, 2n) reactions have been evaluated at 14 MeV. The computations are based on the evaporation model considering the pre-equilibrium emission mechanism under some approximations. The computer codes ALICE-91, NX-1 and SC2N3N have been used. These cross-sections were also computed using the level density formula of Lang and Le Couteur with and without applying pairing energy correction. The compound nucleus theory based on Fermi gas and evaporation model with optical model potential parameters has been used. The neutron, proton and alpha penetrabilities and inverse reaction cross-sections have been computed using the computer code SCAT-2. The computed cross-sections have been compared with the available experimental values and the results are in fairly good agreement

    330-334The excitation functions of 70Ge(p,n)70As,72Ge(p,n)72As, 74Ge(p,n)74As and 76Ge(p,n)76As reactions were studied from reaction threshold to 30 MeV by using EMPIRE-3.2 and TALYS-1.9 nuclear reaction model codes. This study is important because some isotopes produced are important for positron emission tomography (PET). Direct, pre-compound and compound nuclear reactions are considered as main nuclear reaction mechanisms in the codes. The calculated excitation functions have been compared with available experimental data and found to be in fair agreement. Furthermore, the contributions of various reaction mechanisms have been studied in total reaction cross-section that varies with the incident proton energy. The estimation of induced radio activity in thick Ge target due to the primary interaction is carried out for1μA, 30 MeV proton beam
