Abstract

Light-ion irradiations on natural platinum were performed to measure gold-radioisotope cross sections and isotope ratios, as well as to produce a carrier-free final product. Experimental cross sections are compared to TENDL-2023. There is good agreement with this work's results and other published literature values. Several novel cross sections were determined including ¹⁹⁰Au, ¹⁹¹Au, ¹⁹⁹Pt and several independent cross sections.
