New measurement and evaluation of the excitation function of 64Ni(p,n) reaction for the production of 64Cu

Charged particle induced reaction cross section data for production of the emerging medically important positron emitter 64Cu: A comprehensive evaluation

“…The database for this reaction is fairly strong and 13 data sets reporting experimental cross sections were found in the literature (see Table 1). Enriched 64 Ni target was used in seven experiments, namely Treytl and Caretto [21]; Nemashkalo et al [23]; Sevior et al [24]; Levkovskij [25]; Antropov et al [26]; Szelecsényi et al [12] and Rebeles et al [28], the rest of the measurements were done on nat Ni target, i.e. Blaser et al [17]; Blosser and Handley [18]; Guzhovskij et al [22]; Tanaka et al [19,20] and AvilaRodriguez et al [27].…”

“…Nevertheless the cross section values remain higher and shifted to high energies. The recent measurements by Avila-Rodriguez et al [27] and Rebeles et al [28] were adjusted to the new γ -ray intensity value. The cross section values from all the measurements considered in the evaluation are shown in Fig.…”

Experimental determination of proton induced reaction cross sections on natNi near threshold energy

“…[41]) and the present results confirm it. To show the reliability of the present measurements done at the tandem accelerator, we plot our data below 6 MeV (obtained both at tandem and BC 1710) on an expanded scale in Figure 4 together with the evaluated curve [16] and the more recent data by Adam Rebels et al [10]. The results from the TENDL-2014 library [42] are also shown.…”

“…Adam Rebeles et al [10] Avila-Rodriguez et al [8] Szelecsényi et al [6] Sevior et al [1] Blaser et al [19] Tanaka et al keep the dead time below 5% and to avoid the random sum-coincidence losses. The results are shown in Figure 5 together with the literature data.…”

Contribution of [64Cu]-ATSM PET in molecular imaging of tumour hypoxia compared to classical [18F]-MISO — a selected review

“…Fur- Ni(p,n) 64 Cu nuclear reaction. This cyclotron reaction requires a proton beam of about 11 MeV and presents a good production yield with a cross section of about 700 mbarn [15,16]. With the ARRONAX cyclotron (a high energy and high intensity multi-particle accelerator located in Nantes, France) another reaction route, 64 Ni (d,2n), is used.…”
