Abstract

The cross-sections of relativistic deuteron reactions on natural copper were studied by means of activation method. Lack of such experimental cross-section values prevents the use of copper foils from beam integral monitoring. The copper foils were irradiated during experiments at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia. The deuteron beams produced by the JINR Nuclotron accelerator had energies ranging from 1 GeV up to 8 GeV. Residual nuclides were measured using the gamma spectrometry. The copper monitors can help us to improve the beam integral determination during further accelerator-driven system studies. Another goal of our studies is the assessment of nuclear spallation models in comparison with the experimental data.
