The cross section measurement of 144Sm (p, γ) 145Eu has been carried out around proton energies 2.6–6.8 MeV using the activation technique. Measured cross sections are compared with the previous measurement and theoretical predictions using TALYS 1.96. The molecular deposition method was used to prepare the enriched 144Sm targets of thickness 100–350 μg/cm2 on Al backing.
