Abstract

The cross-sections of the ^natTi(³He,x)⁴⁸V,⁴⁸Cr and the ¹⁶⁵Ho(³He,xn)^166,165,163Tm reactions were measured from the threshold to 47 MeV using well-established method of stacked-foil activation and off-line γ-ray spectrometry. The ³He-ion induced nuclear reaction cross-sections on ¹⁶⁵Ho were measured for the first time. Their comparison with the prediction adopted from the TENDL-2017 library revealed significant difference. Thick target yields deduced from the experimental data are provided.
