Excitation Functions of Deuteron Induced Nuclear Reactions on Vanadium with Special Reference to the Production of 43K: Systematics of (d, xn) Reaction Cross Sections Relevant to the Formation of Highly Neutron Deficient Radioisotopes

“…2,3], although the relatively high radiation dose due to its β' radiation (as well as due to 42 K-impurity generally associated with it) and somewhat high-energy γ-rays are drawbacks. In recent years this radioisotope has been replaced to a great extent by 201 Ή and the 7.6 min β* emitter 38 K. Nevertheless, 43 K is still an interesting radioisotope for in-vitro studies in life sciences and for other tracer applications.…”
