Abstract:
Radioactive isotopes of antimony could be produced from proton induced reactions on tin isotopes. At low energy, (p,n) reactions are the only open channels. Measurements are performed for proton reactions with (124)Sn in the energy range between 9.0 and 18.0MeV. Evaluations of the remaining possible reactions are performed and compared with each other. The cross sections are calculated theoretically by the EMPIRE-II code for (124)Sn(p,n)(124)Sb reaction. However, the calculations failed to agree with the experimental results. A recommended evaluation is given and the thick target yields are calculated from the evaluated approximations.
