انتخاب واكنش مناسب و تعيين پارامترهاي پرتودهي براي توليد پالاديوم - 103

Selection of Suitable Reaction and Determination of Irradiation Parameters for Palladium-103 Production

To benefit greatly from 103Rh(p,n)103Pd cross section curve and to avoid formation of radionuclide 101Pd impurity, the proton incident and exit energy of 18 and 5 MeV, must be considered, using ALICE code and experimental results. According to SRIM code, the Rh thickness must be 480|im for 90° beam/target angle geometry. To minimize the thickness of the rhodium layer, and hence to reduce the price of rhodium target, the angle of beam target has been adgusted to 6 degrees so as to decrease the thickness to 48|im.
