Yield estimation of radionuclides from 6,7Li-induced reactions: A comparative analysis for 97,95Ru

Abstract:
The article reports the production yields of the medically relevant Ru radionuclides and other co-produced radionuclides from 6,7Li-induced reactions on 93Nb target within the 20-45 MeV energy range. The residues were measured employing the activation technique followed by the offline γ-spectroscopy. Statistical model calculations using EMPIRE3.2.2 code are employed to assess the optimized nuclear model parameters and production mechanisms of the residues. As an outcome, new data from 6Li reaction suggests 9720 MBq/C of thick target yield (TTY) for the production of 95Ru with minimal impurities. While 7Li reaction may be relied upon for producing 97Ru, yielding 813 MBq/C TTY within the studied energy range.
