In this paper, the excitation functions of Pd-104 (p, n)Ag-104, (105)pd (p, n)Ag-105, Pd-106 (p, n)Ag-106, Pd-108 (p, n)Ag-108 and Pd-110 (p, n)Ag-110 nuclear reactions were calculated for proton energies up to 20 MeV. Contribution of various level density models on the calculations of (p, n) excitation functions was investigated using the nuclear theory codes such as TALYS 1.6 and ALICE/ASH. A comparison of the predicted and measured cross section data was also presented.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNuclear Cross SectionTALYS 1.6 codeLevel DensityPalladiumArticle13010911410.1016/j.apradiso.2017.09.02728950200Q2WOS:000416194400016N/A
