Excitation functions and thick target yields of (α, αxn) and (α, 2p xn) reactions on159Tb

Cumulative cross-sections were determined by the “stacked foil” method for the (α, αxn) and (α, 2pxn) reactions on159Tb up to 90 MeV. Thick target yields were calculated as a function of the energy for the production of153Tb,155Tb,156Tb,158Tb and160Tb.
