Abstract

Excitation function of the ⁵⁴Fe(p,α)⁵¹Mn reaction was measured from 9.5 to 18 MeV E_0,p⁺ by activating a foil stack of ⁵⁴Fe electrodeposited on copper substrates. Residual radionuclides were quantified by HPGe gamma ray spectrometry. Both ⁵¹Mn (t_1/2=46.2min, 〈E_β⁺〉=963.7 keV, I_β⁺=97%; E_γ=749.1 keV, I_γ=0.265%) and its radioactive daughter, ⁵¹Cr (t_1/2=27.704d, E_γ=320.1 keV, I_γ=9.91%), were used to indirectly quantify formation of ⁵¹Mn. Results agree within uncertainty to the only other measurement in literature and predictions of default TALYS theoretical code. Final relative uncertainties are within ±12%.
