Abstract:
Direct production of
99Mo and
99mTc with accelerator has a good development prospect in the field of nuclear medicine. Accurate and reliable nuclear reaction data is of great significance for isotope production. In this paper, the cross sections for
natMo(p, x)
96m+gTc,
100Mo(p, x)
99Mo and
100Mo(p, 2n)
99mTc reactions being taken from EXFOR database have been analyzed, and the experimental data were fitted by polynomial fit method. The excitation functions of
natMo(p, x)
96m+gTc、
100Mo(p, x)
99Mo and
100Mo(p, 2n)
99mTc reactions were calculated up to 40 MeV by using TALYS-1.95 and EMPIRE-3.2.3 code with different energy level density and pre-equilibrium emission models. For the
natMo(p, x)
96m+gTc reaction, the calculation results predicted by preeqmode 1, 2 models are in good agreement with the experimental data when the input parameter ldmodel 6 of level density is used in TALYS-1.95 code. For the
100Mo(p, x)
99Mo reaction, the calculation results predicted by preeqmode 4 models are in good agreement with the experimental data when the input parameter ldmodel 6 of level density is used in TALYS-1.95 code. For the
100Mo(p, 2n)
99mTc reaction, the calculated results predicted by LEVDEN 2 in EMPIRE-3.2.3 code are in good agreement with the experimental data.
