Abstract: Excitation functions for Fr and At isotopes produced in 12C on 209Bi had been measured in the energy range 60—72 MeV. It was quite obvious that 213Fr and 214Fr were formed by the reactions 209Bi (12C,4n) 217Ac and 209Bi (12C,3n) 218Ac following the a decay of the Ac isotopes respectively, and 214mFr was produced probably by compound nucleus evaporation of neutrons and an α particle, i.e. (12C, α 3n). 211At was mainly contributed by a multi-nucleon transfer reaction (e.g. 8Be transfer). The experimental data for neutron evaporation reaction were fitted by the Jackson formula.
