[en] The total cross sections of nuclear reactions in the energy range between several MeV and several tens of MeV have not been sufficiently studied at the present time. In many cases there are no experimental data. There is often a question of accuracy with which the cross sections can be calculated using theoretical models. At the same time, these types of nuclear constants are essential for the development of every nuclear technology. In the present work, an excitation function of nuclear reactions has been experimentally studied by the formation of long-lived radionuclides from the interaction of 47 MeV deuterons with zirconium of natural isotopic abundance. The experimental results are compared with theoretical calculations performed within the framework of a preequilibrium emission model and the evaporation of particles from a compound nucleus. Earlier an analogous study of the excitation function of proton-induced reactions was conducted

[en] The investigations, initiated in, of the deuteron excitation functions for nuclear reactions with interaction energies of up to several tens of MeV were continued. The aim of the investigations is to obtain experimental data that can be used to determine the concentration of nuclides forming as a result of the transmutation of nuclei of the deuteron-irradiated material as well as to study the possibilities of predicting the data theoretically. In the present work we measured the excitation function for reactions in which long-lived nuclides are formed under irradiation of tin by deuterons. Calculations of the excitation functions were performed on the basis of the model of pre-equilibrium emission of nucleons and evaporation of nucleons and γ-rays from the compound nucleus using the program ALICE LIVERMORE. Conclusions are drawn on the basis of a comparison of the measurements and calculations about the role of the compound-nucleus mechanism in reactions with deuterons on tin and the possibility of using the ALICE LIVERMORE program for predicting reaction excitation functions. Thus far the only such investigation for tin is the experiment performed with deuteron energies up to 13.6 MeV
