title: Nuclear model analysis of excitation functions of proton and deuteron induced reactions on (64)Zn and (3)He- and α-particle induced reactions on (59)Co leading to the formation of copper-61: Comparison of major production routes.
abstract: Cross section data for formation of the medically important radionuclide (61)Cu (T½=3.33h) in proton and deuteron induced reactions on enriched (64)Zn and in (3)He- and α-particle induced reactions on (59)Co were analyzed by using the nuclear model calculational codes, EMPIRE and TALYS. A well-defined statistical procedure was then employed to derive the recommended excitation functions, and therefrom to obtain integral yields. A comparison of major production routes of (61)Cu was done.
