Bibliography of experimental
data
A total of 13 works with experimental
cross-section data were identified in the literature for incident particle
energies up to 20 MeV and are represented with
uncertainties in Fig. All data. An extremely high cross section value (1700 mb at 11 MeV) of El-Azony et al. (2008) is not represented in the figure. The
cross sections mostly obtained from experiments on natTe
targets up to 11.5 MeV, the threshold of the 124Te(p,2n)123I
reaction, were normalized and added to the 3 datasets obtained on enriched 124Te
targets. The two sets of data in Scholten et al.
(1989) are indicated as (nat) and (enr). The publications denoted with *.
[112, 115, 116, 118– 122, 132] were not considered for further analysis
as the presented results are either too high or too low or show discrepant data
points. The remaining four datasets were considered asinput
for a least-squares Pade
fit. The Pade functions with 10 parameters were
fitted to 31 selected data points with a χ2=1.63 and covering
the energy range up to 25 MeV as shown in Fig. Recommended. The uncertainties (including a 4% systematic uncertainty),
are 50% near the reaction threshold, decrease steadily to below 10% from 10 MeV to 14 MeV and increase again
to 35% for higher energies.
