“…Furthermore, excitation functions of -particle induced reactions on a large number of target elements have been measured in recent years in several laboratories (cf. [226][227][228][229][230][231][232][233][234][235][236] ral isotopic composition may be potentially useful for developing production routes of a few radionuclides. However, further studies related to practical production using highly-enriched targets are needed.…”

Alpha particles exhibit three important characteristics: scattering, ionisation and activation. This article briefly discusses those properties and outlines their major applications. Among others, -particles are used in elemental analysis, investigation and improvement of materials properties, nuclear reaction studies and medical radionuclide production. The latter two topics, dealing with activation of target materials, are treated in some detail in this paper. Measurements of excitation functions of -particle induced reactions shed some light on their reaction mechanisms, and studies of isomeric cross sections reveal the probability of population of highspin nuclear levels. Regarding medical radionuclides, an overview is presented of the isotopes commonly produced using -particle beams. Consideration is also given to some routes which could be potentially useful for production of a few other radionuclides. The significance of -particle induced reactions to produce a few high-spin isomeric states, decaying by emission of low-energy conversion or Auger electrons, which are of interest in localised internal radiotherapy, is outlined. The -particle beam, thus broadens the scope of nuclear chemistry research related to development of non-standard positron emitters and therapeutic radionuclides.

“…We have started earlier a systematic investigation on the possibility of production 131 Cs at a cyclotron. The study includes series of new experimental measurements of proton, deuteron and alpha induced reactions on nat Cs, nat Ba, 131 Xe and nat Xe, and a critical evaluation of the experimental data reported in the literature (Tárkányi et al, , 2009b(Tárkányi et al, , 2008b(Tárkányi et al, , 2009a(Tárkányi et al, , 2008a. Simultaneously with the investigation of the production routes of medical isotopes a * Corresponding author: ditroi@atomki.hu systematical study of the activation cross section data of deuteron induced nuclear reactions is also in progress including most of the elements, to produce an activation data library (Hermanne et al, 2008;Tárkányi et al, 2011Tárkányi et al, , 2007.…”

Activation cross sections of the nat La(p,x) 139,137m,137g,135,134,133m Ce, nat La(p,x) 135,134,133 La and 133m,133g,131 Ba nuclear reactions have been measured experimentally, for the first time (except 139 Ce). Cross-sections in the 34-64 MeV energy range were obtained through an activation method combining the stacked foil irradiation technique and gamma-ray spectrometry. The experimental cross sections were compared with the theoretical prediction in the TENDL-2014 and TENDL-2015, TALYS based libraries. Applications in the field of medical radionuclides production is discussed.
