Cross Sections of232Th (p,xn+yp) Reactions at Ep= 6.8 to 20.2 MeV

Cross-sections for the (p, n), (p, 2n), (p, 3n) and (p, pn) + (p, d) reactions on 232Th targets were measured, by comparison with the K-shell ionization cross-section, for proton energies between 6.8 and 20.2 MeV. The results are compared with the predictions of the statistical and the pre-equilibrium model. For the (p, pn) reaction, the "clean knock-out" model is also considered.
