Bibliography of experimental data
Twelve publications with experimental cross-section data were identified in the literature for incident particle energies up to 30 MeV and are represented with uncertainties in Fig. All data. Two additional sets by Nemashkalo et al. (1983) (partial cross sections near the threshold), and by Treytl et al. (1966), only including data points above 100 MeV, are not represented in the figure. The EXFOR data are used but were corrected for abundance of the total β- emission where necessary. The original data of Levkovskij (1991) were corrected by a factor 0.8 for the outdated value of the monitor reaction used. The results of four studies were rejected and the reasons for their removal are indicated. The remaining eight datasets were considered as input for a least-squares Pade fit. The data by Guzhovskij et al., obtained with high energy resolution, show several resonances between 2 and 6 MeV but are overall somewhat lower than the other datasets. An energy dependent correction factor, determined by comparing with a Pade fit to the other selected data sets (about 20%), was applied before fitting. The Pade functions with 44 parameters were fitted to 576 selected data points with a χ2 =2.24 and covering the energy range up to 25 MeV as shown in Fig. Recommended. The uncertainties (including a 4% systematic uncertainty) range between 48% near the reaction threshold, decrease to below 10% at 5 MeV, remain around 8% between 6 and 16 MeV and reach 10% at the highest energy.
