Si was produced by the reaction " S(p, 3p)" Si with 51 MeV protons on Li, SO,.Radiosilicon was separated with 60-80% yield, by distillation as HjSiFj without the addition of carrier. A value of > 0.6 mb was estimated for the average cross section for the energy ränge extending from 44 to 51 MeV.Potential applications are reviewed.
