Abstract:
Palladium is known to play an important role in cold nuclear fusion technology because of hydrogen storage characteristics. In this paper, the excitation functions of 104Pd (p,n)104Ag, 105Pd (p,n)105Ag, 106Pd (p,n)106Ag, 108Pd (p,n)108Ag and 110Pd (p,n)110Ag nuclear reactions were calculated for proton energies up to 20MeV. Contribution of various level density models on the calculations of (p,n) excitation functions was investigated using the nuclear theory codes such as TALYS 1.6 and ALICE/ASH. A comparison of the predicted and measured cross section data was also presented.
