Investigations of the natTi(p,x)43,44m,44g,46,47,48Sc,48V nuclear processes up to 40 MeV

Independent and cumulative production cross-sections for the natTi(p,x)48V, 43,44m,44g,46,47,48Sc nuclear processes are reported here, for the energy region of 4–38 MeV by using a stacked-foil activation technique. Measured data were critically compared with the earlier reported values, and also with the theoretical data from the TALYS and ALICE-IPPE codes. The measured natTi(p,x)48V reaction is important for charged particle beam monitoring purposes, whereas the 43,44,47Sc radionuclide have various practical applications in nuclear medicine.
