EVALUATION OF EXCITATION FUNCTIONS OF REACTIONS USED IN CYCLOTRON PRODUCTION OF SOME MEDICAL RADIOISOTOPES

Nuclear reaction models play an important role on the development of reaction cross sections studies; it can be helpful for determining the accuracy of various parameters of nuclear models and experimental measurements. In this manner, excitation function related to the production for some medical radioisotopes such as 123,124I, 67,68Ga and 111In are calculated for statistical and preequilibrium models. The above mentioned reactions were investigated in the energy range from threshold up to 30 MeV. Excitation functions of these routes were calculated by using EMPIRE-03 and TALYS codes. Calculations results are also compared with the available excitation functions measurements in literature.
