Extension of experimental activation cross-sections database of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on manganese up to 50 MeV

In the frame of a systematic study of activation cross sections of deuteron induced reactions, experimental cross section data were measured on Mn (monoisotopic 55 Mn) up to 50 MeV for the formation of 56,54,52 Mn, 48 V and 51 Cr by using stacked-foil activation method and high resolution gamma spectrometry. The experimental data are compared with the earlier published data and with the results predicted by the ALICE-IPPE-D and EMPIRE-II-D theoretical codes, and with the data taken from the on-line TENDL-2017 library.
