A Theoretical Study Of The Production Of Technetium-99m ( 99mtc) Using A Cyclotron

ABSTRACT A theoretical study of the production of Technetium-99m (99mTc) using a cyclotron has been conducted. A nuclear reaction model code (Talys code) was used to generate reaction cross sections as functions of particle energies for 100Mo (p, 2n)99mTc reaction channel which would lead to the direct production of 99mTc. Excitation function for the desired reaction channel for the production of 99mTc and excitation functions for the reaction channels of competing products (contaminants) we...
