Ml. Firouzbakht et al., I-124 PRODUCTION - EXCITATION-FUNCTION FOR THE TE-124(D, 2N)I-124 ANDTE-124(D, 3N) I-123 REACTIONS FROM 7 TO 24-MEV, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 79(1-4), 1993, pp. 909-910
The excitation function for the production of I-124 and I-123 from deu
terons on Te-124 has been measured over the energy interval of 7.5 to
23.6 MeV. The target used was a compressed tellurium powder target. Th
e thick target yields for both radioisotopes have been calculated, rad
iochemical purity was determined and recovery of the isotopically enri
ched tellurium has been investigated.
