Activation cross sections of dysprosium-157,159 and terbium-160 radioisotopes from the deuteron-induced reactions on terbium-159 up to 24 MeV

Experimental production cross sections of the deuteron-induced reactions on terbium-159 up to 24 MeV were measured. The stacked foil technique, the activation method and the γ-ray spectrometry were used for the measurement. The production cross sections of 157,159Dy and 160Tb were determined and compared with the experimental data studied earlier and the theoretical calculation.
