Possibility of production of 81 Rb via the 80 Kr ( d , n ) reaction at a small cyclotron
نویسنده
چکیده
A new route has been investigated for the production of the Rb(Kr) generator parent radionuclide at low energy cyclotrons. The excitation function of the Kr(d,n)Rb reaction was measured up to 14 MeV using natural Kr gas as target, the activation method and a stacked gas-cell irradiation technique. The saturation yield of Rb over the energy range Ed 5 14 → 6 MeV amounts to 2.86 GBq/μA. A comparison of this production method with the commonly used Kr(p,2n)Rb route is given.

Comparison of Copper-61 Radioisotop Production Yield via Reactions of 64Zn(p,α)61Cu, natZn(p,x)61Cu, 61Ni(p,n)61Cu, and natNi(p,x)61Cu in Hospital Cyclotron using TALYS, EMPIRE, and MCNPX Nuclear Codes
Background & Aims: Copper-61 (61Cu) is a radioisotope with a half-life of 3.33 hours which decays to nickel-61 isotope byβ+ emission (61%) or electron capture (39%). This radioisotope can be used in the evaluation of the blood supply of the heart and low-oxygen cancer tissues imaging with PET. 61Cu is mainly produced by bombarding zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) targets in medium cyclot...
متن کاملTargetry for cyclotron production of no-carrier-added cadmium-109 from natAg(p,n)109Cd reaction
Background: Solid targets that consist of powder and electrodeposited targets are used commonly to produce radionuclides by accelerators. Since silver is easily electrodeposited in cyanide baths and has a very excellent thermal conductivity, the electrodeposited target is preferable to produce 109Cd. To avoid cracking or peeling of the target during bombardment, it should have a level surface a...
متن کاملDiscovery of ^{72}Rb: A Nuclear Sandbank Beyond the Proton Drip Line.
In this Letter, the observation of two previously unknown isotopes is presented for the first time: ^{72}Rb with 14 observed events and ^{77}Zr with one observed event. From the nonobservation of the less proton-rich nucleus ^{73}Rb, we derive an upper limit for the ground-state half-life of 81 ns, consistent with the previous upper limit of 30 ns. For ^{72}Rb, we have measured a half-life of 1...

In this study, 16O(p,α)13N nuclear reaction was chosen as the best method of N-13 production. High purity natural water targets were bombarded by 18 MeV protons with an intensity of 8μA. A production yield of 13.5 mCi/μAh was obtained. Chemical modification of 13N-nitrogen oxides into [13N]NH3 was accomplished using De Varda's catalyst. Chemical, radiochemical and radionuclide purity cont...
متن کاملExcitation functions of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on enriched 78 Kr with particular relevance to the production of 76 Br
Excitation functions of the Kr(d, α)Br, Kr(d, n)Rb and Kr(d, x)Kr reactions were measured for the first time in the energy range up to 13 MeV using the stacked gas cell technique and activation method. Highly enriched Kr was used as target material. The maximum cross section of the Kr(d, α)Br reaction at 13 MeV amounts to 21 mb and the calculated yield of Br over the energy range Ed = 13 → 4 Me...
