A total of 16 cross section data sets (in 15 works) were found in the literature in the energy range considered. From these 3 sets were excluded while the remaining 13 sets were selected for further evaluation. For detailed description of the analysis and selection see Takács (2000). The list of related references given below is accompanied with additional information. We mention availability of data in the computerized database EXFOR (if available, unique EXFOR reference number is given). Further, we indicate a reason why a data set was excluded (reference denoted by an asterisk *).

Exfor: P0067
Remark: the results were contraversary in different series (a and b). The shape of the excitation function near the maximum for series-a was strange, therefore this series of data was deselected. After a critical analysis, series-b, obtained with a 60 inch cyclotron was accepted for evaluation

Remark: the data of were normalised to absolute cross sections of Batzel et al. (1953) series-b. The normalisation seems to be systematically too low, therefore these data were renormalized by the compiler by a factor of 1.18.

The data from all experimental papers where numerical values are available (16 data sets in 15 papers), are collected in Fig. 4.2.2a. The scatter of 3 data sets is large, therefore only 13 data sets were selected for evaluation.

Cross sections were calculated by two fitting procedures (Padé with 13 parameters and Spline). These results are compared to selected experimental data in Fig. 4.2.2b. The best approximation was judged to be the Padé fit. Recommended cross sections are compared with selected experimental data, including their error bars, in Fig. 4.2.2c. The corresponding numerical values are tabulated in Tab. 4.2.2.
