title: Excitation function and yield for the103Rh(d,2n)103Pd nuclear reaction: Optimization of the production of palladium-103.
abstract: Deuteron-induced nuclear reactions for the generation of103Pd were investigated using the stacked-foil activation technique on rhodium targets at deuteron energies up to Ed=33MeV. The excitation functions of the reactions103Rh(d,xn)101,103Pd,103Rh(d,x)100g,cum,101m,g,102m,gRh and103Rh(d,2p)103Ru have been measured, and the Thick-Target Yield for103Pd has been calculated.
