  Activation cross-sections data of longer-lived products of proton induced
nuclear reactions on dysprosium were extended up to 65 MeV by using stacked
foil irradiation and gamma spectrometry experimental methods. Experimental
cross-sections data for the formation of the radionuclides $^{159}$Dy,
$^{157}$Dy, $^{155}$Dy, $^{161}$Tb, $^{160}$Tb, $^{156}$Tb, $^{155}$Tb,
$^{154m2}$Tb, $^{154m1}$Tb, $^{154g}$Tb, $^{153}$Tb, $^{152}$Tb and $^{151}$Tb
are reported in the 36-65 MeV energy range, and compared with an old dataset
from 1964. The experimental data were also compared with the results of cross
section calculations of the ALICE and EMPIRE nuclear model codes and of the
TALYS nuclear reaction model code as listed in the latest on-line libraries
TENDL 2013.
