⁸⁵<font>Sr</font> PRODUCTION VIA PROTON INDUCED ON VARIOUS TARGETS USING TALYS 1.0 CODE

Abstract

TALYS 1.0 code was used to calculate excitation function for proton induced on 85/87/ nat Rb , 89 Y and 88/87/86 Sr targets that lead to produce 85 Sr radioisotope using low and medium energy accelerators. Recommended thickness of the targets according to SRIM code was investigated. Theoretical integral yields for any reaction were computed. The results were compared with experimental data. 85 Rb (p, n) 85 Sr process was determined as most interesting one due to radionuclidic purity. The TALYS 1.0 code predicts a maximum cross-section of about 798 mb at 11 MeV for this reaction.
