“…The current results of the theoretical calculation like ALICE-IPPE and STAPRE of proton-induced reactions on natural Fe were calculated from their respective threshold up to 20 MeV [7,8]. The results from these calculations using the above-mentioned codes are higher than the results from experimental data.…”

The cross-sections for the formation of 54,56,57,58 Co in the 54,56,57,58 Fe(p, n) reaction from threshold to 30 MeV protons have been theoretically calculated using the TALYS-1.4 nuclear model code, whereby we have studied major nuclear reaction mechanisms, including direct, preequilibrium and compound nuclear reaction. Subsequently, the level density and shell damping parameters have been adjusted and at the same time, the odd-even effects are well comprehended. The excitation functions have been compared with experimental nuclear data. It is observed that the theoretical cross-sections match fairly well. Proton-induced reaction cross-sections provide clues to understand the nuclear structure and offers a good testing ground for ideas about nuclear forces. In addition, complete information in this field is very much required for application in accelerator-driven subcritical system.

“…High-purity antimony (99.999%) of natural isotopic composition ( 121 Sb: 57.21%; 123 Sb: 42.79%), supplied by Sigma-Aldrich, Germany and high-purity Al and Cu foils (99.999%, supplied by Goodfellow, England) were used to prepare thin targets by sedimentation onto 25 μm thick aluminium backings [9][10][11] and 10 μm thick aluminium wrapping. Copper foils were used to monitor the beam current.…”

Abstract:The activation cross sections of proton induced reactions on nat Sb target leading to the formation of the radioisotopes 121m,g,123m Te were measured. The experimental excitation functions were compared with the theoretical model calculations using the codes EMPIRE-3.1 and TALYS-1.4. The integral yields of the three radionuclides were calculated and the possibility of their production is discussed.

“…Similarly for the production of 18 F (T 1/2 = 110 min) via the 18 O( p, n) 18 F reaction, the cross section database was extended up to 30 MeV [13], so that large scale production of this radionuclide using medium-sized cyclotrons could be carried out. Furthermore, measurements on the formation of some short-lived positron emitters were extended up to proton energies of about 200 MeV [14].…”

Medical radionuclide / Optimisation of production route / Nuclear reaction cross section / Standardisation of data / Alternative routes for production of 99m Tc and 68 Ga / Non-standard positron emitter / Novel therapeutic radionuclide Summary. Nuclear reaction cross section data are of great significance in optimisation of production routes of radionuclides. This article deals with some newer aspects of data research related to production of both standard and novel radionuclides. The recent work to standardise the known data is discussed and new measurements with regard to further optimisation of production routes of some commonly used radionuclides are mentioned. Attempts to increase the specific activity of some reactor-produced radionuclides through the use of charged-particle induced reactions are outlined. The jeopardy in the supply of 99m Tc via a fission-produced 99 Mo/ 99m Tc generator is considered and its possible direct production at a cyclotron is briefly discussed. Regarding the novel radionuclides, development work is presently focussed on non-standard positron emitters for diagnosis and on low-range highly ionising radiation emitters for internal radiotherapy. Recent nuclear reaction cross section measurements related to the production of the two types of radionuclides are briefly reviewed and some anticipated trends in nuclear data research are considered.
