title: Production and separation of carrier-free 145,146Eu from a CsNO3 target using a 16O beam.
abstract: Carrier free europium isotopes 145,146Eu have been produced by irradiating a CsNO3 target with an 80 MeV 16O beam. Radiochemical separation of the produced europium isotopes from the bulk target matrix of CsNO3 have effectively been done using HDEHP, the liquid cation exchanger.
