EXCITATION FUNCTIONS AND YIELDS FOR Re-186g PRODUCTION BY PROTON CYCLOTRON IRRADIATION
نویسندگان
چکیده
Excitation functions, thinand thick-target yields for the Re radionuclides were measured by the activation method on natural tungsten foils for proton energies up to 17 MeV. A new data set has been given for the investigated radionuclides. These results are compared both with the experimental literature values and the ones calculated by the EMPIRE II code (version 2.19). In particular, the attention is focused on Re-186g due to its remarkable applications in Nuclear Medicine for metabolic radiotherapy of tumours.

متن کاملActivation cross sections of proton induced nuclear reactions on palladium up to 80MeV.
Activation cross sections of proton induced nuclear reactions on palladium were measured up to 80MeV by using the stacked foil irradiation technique and gamma ray spectrometry. The beam intensity, the incident energy and the energy degradation were controlled by a method based on flux constancy via normalization to the excitation functions of monitor reactions measured in parallel. Excitation f...
متن کاملExcitation functions of (nat)Zn(p,x) nuclear reactions with proton beam energy below 18 MeV.
We measured the excitation functions of (nat)Zn (p,x) reactions up to 17.6MeV, using the stacked-foils activation technique. High-purity natural zinc (and copper) foils were irradiated with proton beams generated by an 18MeV isochronous cyclotron. Activated foils were measured using high-purity Ge gamma spectroscopy to quantify the radionuclides (61)Cu, (66)Ga, (67)Ga, and (65)Zn produced from ...

Excitation functions were measured by the stacked-foil technique for Sr(p, xn)Y reactions from threshold up to 25 MeV. From the measured cross sections integral yields of Y, Y and Y were calculated. The optimum energy range for the production of Y is Ep = 14 → 9 MeV; the Y yield amounts to 1.75 MBq (47.3μCi/μA·h) and the Y and Y impurities to 2.0 and 4.4%, respectively. The isomeric cross secti...
متن کاملInvestigation of 50 Cr ( d , n ) 51 Mn and natCr ( p , x ) 51 Mn processes with respect to the production of the positron emitter 51 Mn
The positron emitter Mn (t1/2 5 46.2 min, Iβ1 5 97%) is of potential interest in positron emission tomography (PET). With a view to optimizing its production route, excitation functions for deuteron induced nuclear reactions on isotopically enriched (,95%) Cr were determined radiochemically over the energy range of 3 to 13 MeV and for proton induced nuclear reactions on Cr in the range of 18 to...
