Title: Experimental study of independent and cumulative product yields in [sup 208, 207, 206, NAT] PB and [sup 209]BI targets irradiated with 0.04-2-6 GEV proton

More than 5000 independent and cumulative yields of radioactive residual product nuclides with life-times ranging from 13.2 min ({sup 187}Re) to 31.55 years ({sup 207}Bi) are measured in the {sup 208, 207, 206, nat}Pb and {sup 209}Bi thin targets irradiated by 0.04, 0.07, 0.10, 0.15, 0.25, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80, 1.20, 1.60, and 2.60 GeV external proton beams from the ITEP U10 accelerator. The {sup 27}Al(p,x){sup 22}Na reaction was used as monitor. The experiments were made using the direct gamma-spectrometry method based on a Ge detector with a 1.8 keV resolution at a 1332 keV {sup 60}Co gamma-line. The measured gamma-spectra were processed by the GENIE2000 code. The residual product nuclides were identified, and their independent and cumulative yields determined, using the PCNUDAT database and the ITEP-designed SIGMA code.
