摘要

Excitation functions of deuteron-induced reactions on natural zirconium were re-measured up to 50 MeV for the ^natZr(d,x)^{90,91m,92m,95,96}Nb, ^natZr(d,x)^88,89,95,97Zr and ^natZr(d,x)^86,87,88Y reactions. A physically accurate activation method on stacks of natural zirconium foils was used. The results were critically compared with a detailed compilation of earlier reported experimental data and with theoretical calculations. In the overlapping energy regions mainly acceptable agreement was found or our data complete the database where contradictory or scarce data were available. The possible alternative uses in medically relevant radionuclide production as well as applications in thin layer activation and dosimetry are discussed.
