Abstract

Production of 236Pu, 237Pu, and 235Np by the reactions 236U(3He,tβ-)236Pu, 236U(3He,2n)237Pu, and 236U(3He,p3n)235Np with 43- and 60-MeV 3He ion beams on the K-130 cyclotron of the University of Jyvüaskylüa was studied. The cross sections for the reactions were determined. The curves of yields with thick targets were derived from the cross sections. The results are discussed and compared with previous data on the other reactions yielding the same final products.
