In the framework of the Co-ordinated Research Project of the IAEA, we measured in detail cross-sections of the nuclear reactions Mo-nat(p,x)Tc-93g, Tc-93m, Tc93m+g, Tc-94g, Tc-94m, Tc-95g, Tc-95m, Tc96m+g, Tc-97m, Tc-99m, Mo-90, Mo-93m, Mo-99, Nb-88g, Nb-88m, Nb-89g, Nb-89m, Nb90m+g, Nb-90m+g(cum), Nb-91m, Nb-92m, Nb-95g, Nb-95m, Nb95m+g, Nb-96, Nb97m+g, Zr-88m+g(cum) and 89m+gZrcum in the energy range of 6.935.8 MeV. The data for formation of 97mTc, 88gNb, 88mNb and 89mNb are reported for the first time. The obtained results were compared to the prediction of the nuclear reaction model code TALYS adopted from the TENDL-2015 library and to the previously published cross-sections. The thick target yields for all the radionuclides were calculated from the measured data. We suggest recommended cross-sections and thick target yields for the Mo-100(p,2n)Tc-99m, Mo-100(p,x)Mo-99 and Mo-nat(p,x)Tc96m+g nuclear reactions deduced from the selected experimental data.
