Cross-sections for radioactive nuclide production in 56Fe(p,x) reactions at 300, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, and 2600 MeV were measured using the ITEP U-10 proton accelerator. In total, 221 independent and cumulative yields of products of half-lives from 6.6 min to 312 days have been obtained via the direct-spectrometry method. The measured data have been compared with the experimental data obtained elsewhere by the direct and inverse kinematics methods and with calculations by 15 codes, namely: MCNPX (INCL, CEM2k, BERTINI, ISABEL), LAHET (BERTINI, ISABEL), CEM03 (.01, .G1, .S1), LAQGSM03 (.01, .G1, >.S1), CASCADE-2004, LAHETO, and BRIEFF. Most of our data are in a good agreement with the inverse kinematics results and disprove the results of some earlier activation measurements that were quite different from the inverse kinematics measurements. The most significant calculation-to-experiment differences are observed in the yields of the A, 53 pages, 9 figures, 6 tables, only pdf file, submitted to Phys. Rev. C

The ITEP proton synchrotron U10 was used to irradiate isotopically-enriched 208Pb and natU thin targets with 1.0 GeV protons and 197Au thin targets with 0.8 GeV protons. More than 400 cross sections of the nuclides produced were measured using the direct spectrometry method with a high-resolution Ge detector. The measured cross sections are compared with similar data obtained at GSI for kinematically inverse reactions of 1 GeV/nucleon 208Pb, 1 GeV/nucleon 238U, and 0.8 GeV/nucleon 197Au interacting with a hydrogen target and with the ZSR data on natPb and 197Au irradiated with 1 and 0.8 GeV protons, respectively. Our results are on average ~ 10 to 20% higher than the GSI data. The measured data are analyzed with the LANL codes CEM2k+GEM2 and LAQGSM+GEM2 and with the INCL intranuclear cascade code from Liege merged with the GSI evaporation/fission code ABLA., Comment: 6 pages, 2 tables, 1 figure, only pdf file, talk given at the Workshop on Nuclear Data for the Transmutation of Nuclear Waste (TRAMU), GSI, Darmstadt, Germany, September 2-5, 2003

Measured at ITEP (Moscow) cross sections for nuclide production in 1.0 GeV proton-irradiated 208Pb and 0.8 GeV proton-irradiated 197Au targets are presented. The cross sections were measured by direct gamma-spectrometry with a high-resolution Ge detector. The measured cross sections are compared with experimental data of GSI (inverse kinematics, 1 GeV/nucleon 208Pb and 0.8 GeV/nucleon 197Au interacting with a liquid hydrogen target, and the ZSR data (direct kinematics, 1.0 and 0.8 GeV protons on nat-Pb and 197Au, respectively). All experimental data are compared with each other and with results by the Los Alamos codes CEM2k+GEM2, LAQGSM+GEM2, and LAHET (INLC option: Cugnon's INC + Schmidt's evaporation and fission models)., Comment: Proc.

Results of experimental cross sections for residual nuclide production in interactions of 200 MeV/A 12C ions and 0.2 and 2.6 GeV protons with nat-Cu, 59Co, and 27Al targets are presented. The residual products are measured at ITEP (Moscow) by gamma-spectrometry with a detector of 1.8 keV resolution in the 1332 keV 60Co gamma-line. The measured data are compared with predictions by the LANL (Los Alamos) code LAQGSM+GEM2 and JINR (Dubna) code CASCADE., Comment: Proc.

The results of experimental and computer simulation studies of the yields of residual product nuclei in Bi-209 thin targets irradiated by 130 MeV and 1.5 GeV protons are presented. The yields were measured by direct high-precision gamma-spectrometry. The gamma-spectrometer resolution was 1.8 keV in the 1332 keV line. The gamma-spectra were processed by the ASPRO code. The gamma-lines were identified, and the cross sections defined, by the SIGMA code using the GDISP radioactive database. The process was monitored by the Al-27(p,x)Na-24 reaction. Results are presented for comparisons between the 209-Bi(p,x) reaction yields obtained experimentally and simulated by the HETC, GNASH, LAHET, INUCL, CEM95, CASCADE, and ALICE codes., Comment: 31 pages, LaTeX, 6 tables, 12 figures available upon request from mashnik@t2y.lanl.gov or batyaev@alfa10.itep.ru (not available in electronic form), to be published in NIM A
