Abstract
Cross sections for the production of , , and have been determined from the separated isotopes of magnesium, silicon, and sulfur, using 300- and 400-MeV protons. These values, together with previous measurements, provide data for targets of each mass number of 23 to 34 inclusive for and and from 25 to 34 inclusive for . The main feature of the results is that the cross section is highest for those targets having the closest to that of the products. Thus, events involving the loss of about the same number of neutrons as protons have the highest probability. Cascade-evaporation calculations were performed for 400-MeV protons on each of these nuclides. The calculations reproduce the experimental trends.
