A total of 6 cross section data sets were found in the literature in the energy range considered. From these 2 works were excluded while the 4 other publications were selected for further evaluation. Data measured on natural targets were transformed to represent the 203Tl(p,4n)200Pb reaction. The list of related references given below is accompanied with additional information. We mention availability of data in the computerized database EXFOR (if available, unique EXFOR reference number is given). Further, we indicate a reason why a data set was excluded (reference denoted by an asterisk *).

The data from papers where experimental numerical values were available (6 data set in 5 papers), are collected in Fig.5.1.16a. From these 4 works were selected for further evaluation.
Cross sections were calculated by two different versions of the nuclear reaction model code Alice (denoted as HMS(KR) and IPPE), by the nuclear reaction model code PREMOD-HF-MOD (denoted as HF) and by two fitting procedures (Padé with 9 parameters and Spline). The results are compared to selected experimental data in Fig.5.1.16b. It is seen that HF code over estimates the cross sections while the others give better predictions. The best approximation was judged to be the spline fit. Recommended cross sections are compared with selected experimental data, including their error bars, in Fig.5.1.16c. Yield calculated from the recommended cross sections are presented in Fig. 5.1.16d. The corresponding numerical values for recommended cross sections and yield are tabulated in Tab. 5.1.16a and Tab. 5.1.16b respectively.
