In the present study we have measured the excitation functions for the nuclear reactions 100 Mo(α,n) 103 Ru, nat Mo(α,x) 97 Ru, nat Mo(α,x) 95 Ru, nat Mo(α,x) 96g Tc, nat Mo(α,x) 95g Tc and nat Mo(α,x) 94g Tc in the energy range 11-32 MeV. We have used the stacked foil activation technique followed by off-line gamma ray spectroscopy technique to measure the excitation functions. In this study we have also documented detailed uncertainty analysis for these nuclear reactions and their corresponding covariance matrix are also presented. The excitation functions are compared with the available experimental data from EXFOR data library and the theoretical prediction from TALYS nuclear reaction code. The present measurements are found to be consistent with the available experimental data.

“…The TALYS code is based on the Hauser-Fesbach statistical model, which generates the nuclear data for all open reaction channels, on user-defined energy and angle grid [23,24]. This nuclear code has been used to calculate many physical observables related to nuclear reactions analysis and estimation of reaction cross se-tion.…”

The excitation functions of $^{66}$Ga, $^{67}$Ga, $^{65}$Zn and $^{64}$Cu radioisotopes produced via alpha-induced reaction on $^{nat}$Cu were measured using a stacked-foil activation method. The gamma-ray activity produced by the above-mentioned radionuclides was measured using the HPGe detector. The covariance analysis was performed to quantify the measured cross-section uncertainties as well as the correlation between different alpha energy cross sections. A covariance matrix and cross-sections for the $^{nat}$Cu($\alpha$,x)$^{66}$Ga, $^{nat}$Cu($\alpha$,x)$^{67}$Ga, $^{nat}$Cu($\alpha$,x)$^{65}$Zn and $^{nat}$Cu($\alpha$,x)$^{64}$Cu nuclear reactions in the projectile energy range of 15–37 MeV are reported in the present work. The measured reaction cross sections are compared with the existing experimental data and theoretically simulated results from the TALYS code.

“…Many calculation programs are available to receive the cross-section data of various reactions; TALYS and EMPIRE, used in this study, are two of them. Various nuclear reaction programs are used in many studies in the literature, where more experimental data are needed to determine suitable calculation methods [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

The Copper-64 radioisotope, whose academic research continues on diagnostic and therapeutic use, was examined in this study. 64Cu radioisotope is unique among other Cu isotopes for medical usage due to its low positron energy, appropriate half-life, and short tissue penetration. In cases where experimental data are missing, cross-section calculations can be used, and the existence of the cross-section data may provide various advantages in managing time, cost, and efficiency. In this context, investigated detailed cross-section calculations of the 64Cu isotope. To this end, cross-sections acquired from various calculation codes were compared with the literature, and alternative production routes were investigated. Using the nuclear reaction codes TALYS and EMPIRE, cross-section data of the 64Cu isotope were obtained from the 64Ni(p,n)64Cu, 65Cu(p,n+p)64Cu, 68Zn(p,n+α)64Cu, 65Cu(n,2n)64Cu, 64Ni(d,2n)64Cu, and 63Cu(d,p)64Cu reactions with the equilibrium and pre-equilibrium models. The results were compared with the available literature data from the EXFOR database.
