Cross sections for the formation of 114mIn and 116mIn on bombardment of cadmium by deuterons

Activation cross sections on cadmium: Deuteron induced nuclear reactions up to 40MeV

“…Padalko's data agree very well with our experimental data, but Zarubin's points are too scattered. Results of Nassiff et al [14] measured on natural cadmium are higher than ours. The model calculation presents the total production cross section for all states of 116 In and has to be considered as an upper limit.…”

“…9. Cross sections of Nassiff et al [14] are lower below and higher above 18 MeV than ours but the maximum is around 15 MeV in both cases. The excitation function measured by Mirzaei et al [17] seems to be shifted along the energy axis and compressed by a factor of two along the cross section axis compared to Nassiff's and our data.…”

“…Usher et al [12,13] and Nassiff et al [14] presented not sigmas but r p P n i a i =A where r p ; A and P i a i are production cross section, average atomic weight and isotopic abundance, respectively. To obtain cross sections measured on natural cadmium we multiplied the presented values by A and plotted them in the proper figures.…”

Investigation of the production of the therapeutic radioisotope 114mIn through proton and deuteron induced nuclear reactions on cadmium

“…9 the production cross-section for 114m In measured on nat Cd was normalized to the isotopic abundance of 114 Cd, neglecting the nearly 20 times lower contribution from 113 Cd. We applied the same normalization on the earlier reported data on nat Cd by Nassiff et al [21] and Merzaei et al [22]. According to the Fig.…”

Upgrade of recommended nuclear cross section data base for production of therapeutic radionuclides

“…The data of Mirzaei [56] were deselected. The absolute cross-section values are too small comparing to Tárkányi [65] and to Nassiff [63]. The absolute cross-section values are also too small for the simultaneously measured 111 In.…”
