[en] Study of heavy-ion induced reactions on intermediate or heavy mass targets is necessary to understand the pre-equilibrium (PEQ) emissions, complete and incomplete fusion reactions, nucleon transfer processes etc. In heavy-ion induced reactions, PEQ emission of neutrons are observed at relatively low projectile energy (4-10 MeV/A). PEQ emissions in ¹²C- and ¹⁶ O-induced reactions on intermediate/ heavy mass targets like ¹²⁸Te, ¹⁵⁹Tb, ¹⁹⁷Au, ⁶⁴Ni etc. in 4-10 MeV/A energy range were reported. However heavy-ion induced reaction data near the barrier is still rare in order to develop sophisticated formalism for PEQ reactions in 4-10 MeV/A, low energy range. For the first time, production of ^101,100,99Pd radionuclides via neutron channels is reported in ¹¹B induced reaction on natural niobium (⁹³Nb) target in 3-5 MeV/A. Although ^101m,100,99Rh, ⁹⁷Ru radionuclides have also been identified, but this report is focused on the production of Pd-isotopes.
