Abstract:
Excitation functions of the natMo(p,xn)93m,93m+g,94mTc, natMo(p,pxn)90Mo and natMo(p,alphaxn)89g,89m,97Nb reactions were measured using the stacked foil activation technique up to 70 MeV. These data have been measured for the first time. The measured results were compared with the ALICE-IPPE precompound-hybrid model calculations. The calculations are in partial agreement with the measured values. Maximum production of 94mTc was found in the energy range 10-37 MeV, wherein the radionuclidic impurities for 93mTc and 93gTc are about 17% and 30%, respectively.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
