In our previous work, we have measured the neutron spallation cross sections of 12C and 209Bi in the 20-to 150-MeV energy range. Here in this succeeding study, the neutron activation cross sections on spallation reactions for 59Co and natCu have been measured in the quasi-monoenergetic p-7Li neutron fields in the 40-to 120-MeV energy range which have been established at two cyclotron facilities of Takasaki Research Establishment of Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (TIARA) and the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN). The neutron spectrum has been measured with the TOF (Time of Flight) method using an organic liquid scintillator, and the absolute value of peak neutron fluence has been determined from the proton recoil counter telescope at TIARA and the activation method of lithium target at RIKEN. In this study, the following seventeen neutron activation cross section data are reported which produce 56Mn, 54Mn, 52Mn, 58Co, 57Co, 56Co, 55Co, 59Fe, from 59Co reactions and 56Mn, 59Fe, 60Co, 58Co, 57Co, 56Co, 64Cu, 61Cu, 60Cu from natCu reactions. Our experimental results were compared with other experimental data and the calculated results by Odano and Iwasaki using the SINCROS-II code for 59Co reactions and by Fukahori using the ALICE-F code for natCu reactions.
