Abstract
In the present work, natural Ge targets have been irradiated by  neutron beams of  17.7 and 19.3 MeV, at the 5MV tandem accelerator of NCSR "Demokritos". The cross section of the 72,74Ge(n,α)69,71Zn and 76Ge(n,2n)75Ge reactions, leading to the population of isomeric states,  has been deduced with respect to the  27Al(n,α)24Na  and  93Nb(n,2n)92mNb  reference  reactions. After the neutron irradiations, the induced γ-ray activity of the Ge target and reference foils, was measured with high-resolution HPGe detectors.
