  In the frame of a systematic study of the activation cross-sections of the
proton induced nuclear reactions, excitation functions of the
55Mn(p,x)154,152gMn,51Cr and 48V were measured up to 70 MeV. Cross-sections
were measured with the activation method using a stacked foil irradiation
technique and high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. The experimental data are
analyzed and compared to the earlier results and to the prediction of the
EMPIRE-3 as well as the TALYS theoretical model code in the TENDL-2012 library.
From the measured cross-section data integral production yields were
calculated. Practical applications of the cross-sections are discussed.
