Results of measurements for ^natZn(p,xn)⁶⁷Ga process can be used for evaluation between 17 and 30 MeV. In this energy range the contribution of the ⁶⁷Zn(p,n)⁶⁷Ga reaction can be neglected due to the low isotopic abundance of ⁶⁷Zn in a natural zinc matrix and the magnitude of the cross section of the ⁶⁷Zn(p,n)⁶⁷Ga reaction. The influence of the ⁷⁰Zn(p,4n)⁶⁷Ga process to the production cross sections is also negligible because of the very low isotopic abundance of ⁷⁰Zn in natural zinc (0.62%).
