title: Evaluation of excitation functions of proton, ³He- and α-particle induced reactions for production of the medically interesting positron-emitter bromine-76.
abstract: Cross section data for production of the medically interesting radionuclide ⁷⁶Br (T(½)=16.2 h) via the proton induced reactions on ⁷⁶Se, ⁷⁷Se, ⁷⁸Se and ⁷⁹Br, and ³He- and α-particle induced reactions on ⁷⁵As were evaluated. The nuclear model codes STAPRE, EMPIRE and TALYS were used to check the consistency in the experimental data and a statistical procedure was applied to derive the recommended excitation functions. A comparison of various production routes of ⁷⁶Br (and of ⁷⁵Br) is presented.
