A theoretical study of excitation functions of isomers and isomeric cross section ratios in alpha induced reactions on 107,109Ag

A theoretical study based on statistical and pre-equilibrium calculations of the excitation functions and relevant isomeric cross-section ratios for the 107Ag (α, n) 110Inm,g, 107Ag (α, 3n) 108Inm,g, 109Ag (α, 3n) 110Inm,g, and 107Ag (α, αn)106Agm reactions have been carried out in the 10–40 MeV alpha energy range in a consistent way. The calculated excitation functions for the isomeric states, ground states and their ratios have been compared with reported measurements and TENDL-2010 and discussed.
