  Activation cross-sections for production of 162m,161,155Ho,165,159,157,155Dy
and 161,160,156,155Tb radionuclides in deuteron induced nuclear reactions on
elemental dysprosium were measured up to 50 MeV for practical application and
the test of the predictive power of nuclear reaction model codes. A
stacked-foil irradiation technique and off-line gamma-ray spectrometry were
used to determine the activities. No earlier cross-section data were found in
the literature. The experimental data are compared with the predictions of the
ALICE-D, EMPIRE-D and TALYS codes. Integral production yields were calculated
from the fitted experimental data.
