Original Abstract

The excitation functions of Ga-66, Ga-67, Zn-65 and Cu-64 radioisotopes produced via alpha-induced reaction on Cu- nat were measured using a stacked foil activation method. The gamma-ray activity produced by the above mentioned radionuclides was measured using the HPGe detector. The covariance analysis was performed to quantify the measured cross-section uncertainties as well as the correlation between different alpha energy cross-sections. A covariance matrix and cross-sections for the Cu-nat(alpha,x)Ga-66, Cu-nat(alpha,x)Ga-67, Cu-nat(alpha,x)Zn-65 and Cu-nat(alpha,x)Cu-64 nuclear reactions in the projectile energy range of 15-37 MeV are reported in the present work. The measured reaction cross-sections are compared with the existing experimental data and theoretically simulated results from the TALYS code.
