Alpha-particle-induced reactions on natural silver in the 10-50  MeV energy range: Production of < sup > 111 < /sup > In, < sup > 110m < /sup > In and < sup > 109 < /sup > Cd

Appl Radiat Isot. 2024 Feb 1;206:111221. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2024.111221. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProduction cross sections of medical radionuclides 111In, 110mIn and 109Cd were investigated in the α-particle-induced reactions on natural silver up to 50 MeV. The stacked-foil activation technique and γ-ray spectrometry were used to determine the cross sections. The excitation functions of byproducts 104g,105,106m,110mAg, 107,111mCd and 107g,108g,108m,109,110gIn were also determined. Physical yields of 111In, 110mIn and 109Cd were deduced based on the measured cross sections.PMID:38310690 | DOI:10.1016/j.apradiso.2024.111221
