title: Production of 75Br via the 78Kr (d,n alpha)75Br reaction.
abstract: The production of 75Br by the 78Kr (d,n alpha)75Br reaction using a 21.5 MeV deuteron beam was investigated. With our 78Kr gas target, the production yield was found to be 5.9 +/- 0.9 mCi/microA at saturation. The major impurities in the 75Br product were 76Br and 77Br which amounted to about 6 and 2.5% respectively, at EOB. Sufficient amounts of 75Br could easily be prepared by this method for use in chemistry and animal experiments but deuteron energies greater than 20 MeV are required.
