Abstract
Cross section data for the formation of 121,122,123,125,127Xe via proton induced reactions on 127I were critically analyzed. Three nuclear model codes (TALYS 1.9, ALICE-IPPE, and EMPIRE 3.2) were used to ensure the consistency and reliability of the experimental data. Utilizing a well-developed evaluation methodology, a recommended fit for each excitation function was obtained, based on theoretical predictions of nuclear models and experimental cross sections. By using the recommended/reference results, thick target yields were calculated for each production route and its associated impurity reactions. The indirect production of the radionuclides 121,122,123,125I was explored. Special attention was paid to standardization of cross section data for the production of the medically important radionuclides 127Xe and 123I via the routes 127I(p,n)127Xe and 127I(p,5n)123Xe(EC, β+)123I, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
