New excitation functions measurement of nuclear reactions induced by deuteron beams on yttrium with particular reference to the production of 89 Zr.We investigated 89 Zr production induced by deuteron beams on yttrium targets at energies up to E d = 32 MeV using the stacked-foil activation technique. Cross sections of the following nuclear reactions 89 Y(d,2n) 89 Zr, 89 Y(d,3n) 88 Zr and 89 Y(d,x) 88 Y have also been measured. Based on the measured values, we determined the thick target yields for 89 Zr and 88 Zr which is the main contaminant associated to the production of 89 Zr.

“…Once this process has been completed, L is changed and the iteration is repeated until an overall minimum is found from all discrete possibilities available. Some additional features of this method of analysis are discussed in our recent paper on evaluated beam-monitor reactions [9]. Along with a consistent consideration of the statistical uncertainties of the experimental data, the Padé method allows (a) determination of some systematic uncertainties in the data that are usually underestimated by their authors and (b) establishment of some implicit correlations of the data.…”

An extensive series of evaluations have been performed as part of an IAEA coordinated research project to study a set of nuclear reactions that produce the diagnostic gamma-ray emitting radionuclides 51 Cr, 99m Tc, 111 In, 123 I and 201 Tl. Recommended cross-section data in the form of excitation functions have been derived, along with quantifications of their uncertainties. These evaluations involved the compilation of all previously published values and newly measured experimental data, followed by critical assessments and selection of those experimental datasets and accompanying uncertainties judged to be fully valid and statistically consistent for model-independent least-squares fitting by means of Padé approximations. Integral yields as a function of the energy were also calculated on the basis of the recommended cross sections deduced from these various fits. All evaluated numerical results and their corresponding uncertainties are available online at www-nds.iaea.org/medical/gamma_emitters.html and also on the medical portal of the International Atomic Energy Agency/Nuclear Data Section (IAEA-NDS) www-nds.iaea.org/medportal/.
“…The overall agreement between the measured data and model calculations supports the fact that major discrepancies shown by the current evaluations are due to missing the proper account of direct interactions. The consistent theoretical frame of the deuteron interactions supported by advanced codes associated to the nuclear reactions mechanisms provides predictability in addition to the use of various-order genuine Padé approximations [3,4] needed in applications.…”

“…More recently, full parametrization of the deuteron monitor reactions and therapeutic radionuclidesproduction cross sections have been recommended by Hermanne et al [3], and Engle et al [4]. Thus, beyond the FENDL [2] concern of improved theoretical analysis, fit of the available data by a least-squares method with Padé approximations of variable order has been involved to evaluate the deuteron-induced production cross sections and corresponding uncertainties.…”
Background: The scarce data systematics and complexity of deuteron interactions demand the update of both the experimental database and theoretical frame of deuteron activation cross sections. Various reactions induced by neutrons and protons following the deuteron breakup (BU) should be also taken into account. On the other hand, deuteron reaction cross sections recommended recently for high-priority elements are still based on data fit without predictive power.Purpose: Accurate new measurements of low-energy deuteron-induced reaction cross sections for monoisotopic ( 55 Mn) natural manganese target enhance the related database as well as the opportunity of an unitary and consistent account of the related reaction mechanisms.Methods: Activation cross sections of 54,56 Mn, and 51 Cr nuclei by deuterons on 55 Mn were measured at energies ≤20 MeV by the stacked-foil technique and high resolution gamma spectrometry at the U-120M cyclotron of CANAM, NPI CAS. Then all available data for deuterons on 55 Mn up to 50 MeV are analyzed paying particular attention to BU and direct reaction (DR) mechanisms.Results: Newly measured activation cross sections strengthen the deuteron database at low energies, at once with a consistent account for the first time of all available data.Conclusions: Due account of deuteron-induced reactions on 55 Mn, including particularly the new experimental data at low energies, is provided by a suitable BU and DR assessment.
