Survey of Radioactivities Induced by Lithium Ions
Abstract
Lithium-induced nuclear reactions which lead to radioactivities are surveyed for application to experiments with intense lithium-ion beams from pulsed power generators. Positive Q-value reactions for 7Li ions of up to 15 MeV on carbon, aluminum, steel, brass, and titanium alloy targets are identified. For each radioactivity, the half-life and decay products are tabulated. Reaction yields are dominated by the Coulomb barrier, and the scaling of the barrier penetration with 7 Li energy is evaluated for each target element.
