Investigation of alternative production routes of 99mTc: deuteron induced reactions on 100 Mo.
Activation cross sections of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on enriched (100)Mo have been studied up to 50 MeV using the stacked foil irradiation technique and gamma spectroscopy. The excitation functions for production of (99m)Tc, (ind99)Mo, (ind98m)Nb, (ind97mg)Nb radioisotopes were measured for the first time and compared with the results of the ALICE-D, EMPIRE-D and TALYS codes. Production possibilities of the medically important (99m)Tc are discussed.
