Experimental studies on the proton-induced activation reactions of molybdenum in the energy range 22–67MeV

Measurement of the neutron total cross sections of Ta and Mo and proton induced reaction cross sections of natMo

“…Our data are in general good agreement with the recent data reported by Bonardi et al [21] and Uddin et al [19].…”

“…The measured production cross sections of 96m,g Tc are shown in figure 4 in comparison with the results of other authors. Our data showed in general good agreement with the data reported by Takacs et al [18], Uddin et al [19], and the theoretical data taken from ALICE-IPPE code [20]. The data reported by Bonardi et al [21] by using natural Mo target are higher than other data.…”

Medical Radioisotopes Production: A Comprehensive Cross-Section Study for the Production of Mo and Tc Radioisotopes Via Proton Induced Nuclear Reactions on natMo

“…By revising the database situation for 99 Mo & 94,95g,95m,96(m+g),96g,99m Tc production, it could be seen that the status of the present information is still not satisfactory for a detailed optimization of the production processes. Several authors (Kormali, et al, 1976;Takács, et al, 2002;Bonardi, et al, 2002;Uddin, et al, 2004;Khandaker, et al, 2006;Khandaker, et al, 2007;Uddin, et al, 2008) have reported a variety data for proton-induced reaction crosssections on molybdenum in the medium-energy range, but large discrepancies can be found among them. These discrepancies limit the reliability of data evaluations.…”

Benchmark experiment for the cross section of the 100 Mo(p,2n) 99m Tc and 100 Mo(p,pn) 99 Mo reactions

“…Cross sections of proton induced nuclear reactions on natural and enriched molybdenum have been studied extensively. Several experimental and evaluated datasets and evaluation are published for the activation cross sections of different reactions regarding the production of Mo(p,pn) 99 Mo reactions as a function of the bombarding proton energy were carried out by many research groups with conflicting results regarding the amplitude of the reported data [1], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 Tc reactions were determined experimentally by using analytically derived equations in the data evaluation, avoiding various approximations in the data analysis. The good agreement among the results of the three independent irradiations proves that the main discrepancy among the earlier published experimental cross section data for the 100 Tc and 99 Mo was measured through the common E  = 140.5 keV gamma-line.…”
