Nuclear model analysis of excitation functions of proton, deuteron and α-particle induced reactions on nickel isotopes for production of the medically interesting copper-61

Copper radionuclides for theranostic applications: towards standardisation of their nuclear data. A mini-review

“…From our evaluated data (Aslam and Qaim, 2014a). d From IAEA-CRP, evaluated data (Tárkányi et al, 2019).…”

“…In those studies extensive use was made of nuclear model calculations to ascertain the most concordant set of data for a given nuclear reaction, followed by polynomial fitting of the selected data. Based on a suggestion made by Sudár et al (2002), the standardisation methodology was extensively developed under a German-Pakistan cooperation (Hussain et al, 2009(Hussain et al, , 2010Aslam and Qaim, 2014a;Aslam and Qaim, 2014b;Amjed et al, 2016Amjed et al, , 2020Ali et al, 2019). It consists of a comparison of the experimental data with the results of a nuclear model calculation, whereby the input parameters are adjusted within their recommended limits (RIPL-3).…”

Nuclear model analysis of excitation functions of proton and deuteron induced reactions on 64 Zn and 3 He- and α-particle induced reactions on 59 Co leading to the formation of copper-61: Comparison of major production routes

“…Recently we presented a nuclear model analysis of few possible processes for the production of 61 Cu from enriched Ni isotopes via proton, deuteron and α-particle induced reactions (cf. Aslam and Qaim, 2014). Alternatively, proton and deuteron induced reactions on isotopes of zinc also seem to have great potential.…”

“…Comparison of major production routes of 61 Cu n .n All values calculated from the fitted excitation functions given in this and earlier work(Aslam and Qaim, 2014).…”

Experimental determination of proton induced reaction cross sections on natNi near threshold energy

“…The measured excitation functions of those reactions have also been subjected to rigorous theoretical treatment (cf. [16][17][18]) and recommended sets of cross section data have been reported. As far as measurements on nat Ni are concerned, several groups reported data over various proton energy ranges (cf.…”
