Calculations for the excitation functions of 3–26 MeV proton reactions on 66Zn, 67Zn and 68Zn

Calculation of excitation functions of 66Zn(p,n)66Ga, 66Zn(p,n+p)65Zn, 66Zn(p,2n)65Ga, 67Zn(p,2n)66Ga, 68Zn(p,n)68Ga, 68Zn(p,2n)67Ga natZn(p,xn)66Ga and natZn(p,xn)67Ga reactions has been carried out using the statistical and pre-equilibrium nuclear reaction models in the 3–26 MeV energy range. The calculational results are compared with the reported measurements and evaluations.
