Bibliography of experimental data
A total of 11 cross section data sets were found in the literature. 3 data sets were excluded while the 8 others were selected for further evaluation. For detailed description of the analysis and the selection see Szelecsényi (1998). The references given below is accompanied with additional information. If available, unique EXFOR reference number is given. The reason why a data set was excluded is indicated (reference denoted by an asterisk *).

Data excluded: although very good agreement with the results of other groups up to 10 MeV. is noted the rapid decrease of the excitation function in the tail is unusual for a (p,n) reaction energy region.Blaser J.-P., Boehm F., Marmier P. and Peaslee D.C.:

Remark: since the values are "estimated" values above 12 MeV based on a ‘tail-fitting procedure, the results are used only up to this energy.Johnson C.H., Galonsky A. and Inskeep C. N.:

All experimental data are collected under link "All data". 3 works were excluded while the remaining 8 works were selected for further evaluation.
Cross sections were calculated by two different versions of the nuclear reaction model code of ALICE (denoted as HMS and IPPE), by the nuclear reaction model code
PREMOD-HFMOD (denoted as HF), by the nuclear reaction model code SPEC and by two fitting procedures (Padé with 8 parameters and Spline). These results are compared to the selected experimental data under link of "Selected". Recommended cross sections are compared with selected experimental data, including their error bars, under link "Recommended". Yields calculated from the recommended cross sections are presented in link "Yield". The corresponding numerical values for recommended cross sections and yields are tabulated in "Tabulated Cs" and "Tabulated Y", respectively.
