Abstract:
Radioisotope 94mTc is a favorable positron emitter radioisotope in nuclear medicine that can be used for PET. Production of 94mTc via indirect reaction 92Mo(α, 2n)94Ru → 94mTc was predicted by SRIM, TALYS,and GEANT4 codes. SRIM and GEANT4 codes were employed to calculate the range of alpha particles into enriched 92Mo and to estimate the thickness of the target. Further, the GEANT4 and the TALYS codes were used to investigate the cross-section and production yield of the 92Mo(α, 2n)94Ru reaction. Four model methods were utilized to compute the cross-section by TALYS-1.95 code. The simulated results were compared with experimental values that reported by F.O. Denzler and found to be in good agreement between them. This observation indicates that the SRIM, the GEANT4 and the TALYS codes are suitable tools for prediction of producing radioisotopes via various reactions.
