Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Bismuth targets were irradiated by 660 MeV proton beam on the Phasotron accelerator in the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia. Cross sections of the formation of about 70 residual nuclei are determined by the method of induced activity [1]. The experimental cross sections of residual nuclei are compared with the data obtained by Yu.E. Titarenko et al. [2] as well as with the results of MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code) [3, 4] simulations. Comparison of theoretical calculations and experimental results shows good agreement between experiment and simulation data.
