Investigation of spallation reactions on ¹²⁰Sn and (d, xn), (d, pxn), (p, xn), and (p, pxn) reactions on enriched tin isotopes

The cross sections for (d, xn), (d, pxn), (p, xn), and (p, pxn) reactions on enriched tin isotopes are obtained at a projectile energy of 3.65 GeV per nucleon. The yields in the energy range 0.66-8.1 GeV are analyzed with resort to experimental data obtained previously. Experimental data are compared with the results of theoretical calculations performed within the cascade-evaporation model. The dependence of the yields on the number of emitted neutrons, the projectile type, and the isotopic composition of a target is investigated. The cross sections for the (p, xpyn) reactions on a Sn-120, target are presented at a primary-proton energy of 0.66 GeV. (C) 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
