Calculation of excitation functions of nuclides produced in proton induced reactions on NatSi

Excitation functions of several nuclides from p+NatSi reactions in the incident energy range of 20–110 MeV have been calculated using the hybrid model nuclear reaction code ALICE. Comparisons with experimental data have been made to select proper input options of the code. These data are useful to estimate possible damage in devices containing Si, from the bombardment of solar or accelerator produced protons.
