Excitation function of 3He-particle induced nuclear reactions on natural palladium

Excitation functions of 3He-particle induced nuclear reactions on natural palladium were measured using the standard stacked foil technique and high resolution γ-ray spectroscopy. From their threshold energies up to 27 MeV, cross-sections for natPd(3He,x)103,104,105,106m,110m,111,112Ag and natPd(3He,x)104,105,107,111mCd reactions were measured. The nuclear model codes TALYS-1.4, and EMPIRE-3.1 were used to describe the formation of these products. The present data were compared to theoretical results and to the available experimental data. Integral yields for some important radioisotopes were determined.
