A total of 8 cross section data sets (in 7 works) were found in the literature. From these 4 data sets were excluded while the 4 others were selected for further evaluation. Only in Bonardi (83)b data for partially (87%) enriched 203Tl targets were published. All other data were converted from measurements on natural targets supposing 29.5% isotopic abundance of 203Tl. 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 (8 data set in 7 papers), are collected in Fig. 5.1.14a. From these 4 works were excluded while the remaining 4 works were selected for further evaluation.
Cross sections were calculated by three different versions of the nuclear reaction model code ALICE (denoted as HMS(FG) and IPPE), by the nuclear reaction model code PREMOD-HFMOD (denoted as HF) and by Spline fit method. The results are compared to selected experimental data in Fig. 5.1.14b. It is seen that model calculations do not predict well enough the experimental cross sections. 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. 5.1.14c. Yields calculated from the recommended cross sections are presented in Fig. 5.1.14d. The corresponding numerical values for recommended cross sections and yields are tabulated in Tab. 5.1.14a and Tab. 5.1.14b, respectively.
