Nuclear reaction excitation functions in the interaction of protons with silicon

Nuclear reaction excitation functions have been investigated which result in radioactive and stable nuclide formation following the proton bombardment of silicon with proton energies up to 100 MeV. Summarized experimental data and excitation function calculations have been performed regarding the mechanisms of pre-equilibrium emission and evaporation from compound nuclides based on the ALICE LIVERMORE code. With the aim of nuclear doping, transmutation coefficients for Al, Mg and Na have been calculated as well as the γ-ray activities of the doped material.
