Interactions of Pions and Antiprotons with Nuclei

The precise knowledge of production cross sections for
specific                  radionuclides for medium energies (10 MeV to 100
GeV) of the incident         particle gains ever more importance,
not only for nuclear physics but also   for many applications,
e. g. astrophysics, radiation protection at               accelerators but
also on space flights, radioisotope techniques in               medicine
and for industrial applications and perhaps even for                     the
removal of nuclear waste by accelerators.
Since the last systematic review of these production cross
sections in 1973 (LB I/5a, b, c) an            impressive amount of new
experimental data has been accumulated.
In the present subvolume data for the production of
radioisotopes by medium            energetic pions and antiprotons on
various targets are presented in tables   and figures, the
latter showing the general trend of the cross sections      and
can be more readily used for interpolations.
The origin of the         authors made it possible to include also
data from the USSR and other East   European states which
sometimes are not easy to access. The tables and         figures
have been compiled with extraordinary care and should
present   the most complete compilation for this type of
nuclear                                 reactions.
General remarks on the accelerators used and                              other
experimental details are included for all subvolumes
excisting so far.
