Experimental results evaluation and theoretical study forthe production of the radio isotope 52Mn using P, D and Α- projectiles on V and Cr targets

الملخص EN

52Mn is a very important radioisotope in medical applications.

The different routes for production of this isotope, via nuclear reactions using p, d, 3He and α, as projectile were studied in this work.

Evaluation of the existing excitation functions of the different reactions as well as present TALYS 1.4 and EMPIRE 3.1 code calculations are presented.

52Cr(p, n), 52Cr(d,2n) and 51V(α,n) nuclear reactions are taken into consideration.

Recommended excitation functions and thick target yields for both ground and isomeric states are given.
