Comparison of nuclear data of 64Cu production using an accelerator by TALYS 1.0 code

Abstract

The extensive use of 64Cu (T1/2 = 12.7 h) as a positron and electron emitter radioisotope in recent years has ensured its potential to serve a dual role in the development of molecular agents in PET and radioimmunotheraphy drugs in oncology. The TALYS 1.0 code was used to calculate excitation functions for induced proton, deuteron and alfa-particles on 64Zn, 66Zn, 67Zn, 68Zn, 70Zn, 62Ni, and 64Ni up to 50 MeV. According to the data acquired by the TALYS 1.0 code, thick-target integral yield of the induced charged particles on the enriched targets was achieved
