Popis: The excitation function of the natMo(p,x) 96 mg Tc monitor reaction has been measured up to 38 MeV to verify published experimental cross-section data sets measured earlier by using this monitor reaction. The activation method and the stacked foil technique using high-resolution HpGe gamma spectrometry were applied to determine the excitation function. Reliable data sets were produced with the help of simultaneous measurement of the excitation functions of natTi(p,x)48V, natNi(p,x)57Ni, natCu(p,x)62Zn, natCu(p,x)63Zn and natCu(p,x)65Zn monitor reactions in the whole investigated energy range. The new cross-section values indicate the necessity of normalisation the excitation functions of about 250 of proton induced nuclear reactions by a factor of 0.8 measured earlier by Levkovski using the natMo(p,x)96mgTc process as monitor reaction.
