  Experimental excitation functions for proton induced reactions on natural
vanadium in the 37-65 MeV energy range were measured with the activation method
using a stacked foil irradiation technique. By using high resolution gamma
spectrometry cross-section data for the production of $^{51,48}$Cr, $^{48}$V,
$^{48,47,46,44m,44g,43}$Sc and $^{43,42}$K were determined. Comparisons with
the earlier published data are presented and results predicted by different
theoretical codes (EMPIRE and TALYS) are included. Thick target yields were
calculated from a fit to our experimental excitation curves and compared with
the earlier experimental yield data. Depth distribution curves to be used for
thin layer activation (TLA) are also presented.
