Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Residual Product Nuclide Yields in 100-2600 MeV Proton-Irradiated Thin Targets

The work is aimed at experimental determining and computer simulating the independent and cumulative yields of residual product nuclei in the target and structure materials of the transmutation facilities driven by high-current accelerators. The ITEP U-10 accelerator was used in 48 experiments to obtain more than 4000 values of the yields of radioactive residual product nuclei in 0.1-2.6 GeV proton-irradiated thin 182,183,184,186-W, nat-W, 56-Fe, 58-Ni, 93-Nb, 232-Th, nat-U, 99-Tc, 59-Co 63,65-Cu, nat-Hg, 208-Pb, and 27-Al targets. The results of verifying the LAHET, CEM95, CEM2k, CASCADE, CASCADE/INPE, YIELDX, HETC, INUCL, and other simulation codes are presented.
