Activation cross sections of -particle induced nuclear reactions on hafnium and deuteron induced nuclear reaction on tantalum: production of W/Ta generator
In the frame of a systematic study of charged particle production routes of
medically relevant radionuclei, the excitation function for indirect production
of Ta through Hf(,xn)W-Ta nuclear
reaction was measured for the first time up to 40 MeV. In parallel, the side
reactions Hf(,x)W,
Ta, Hf were also assessed.
Stacked foil irradiation technique and -ray spectrometry were used. New
experimental cross section data for the Ta(d,xn)W reaction are
also reported up to 40 MeV. The measured excitation functions are compared with
the results of the ALICE-IPPE, and EMPIRE nuclear reaction model codes and with
the TALYS 1.4 based data in the TENDL-2013 library. The thick target yields
were deduced and compared with yields of other charged particle ((p,4n), (d,5n)
and (He,x)) production routes for W
