Abstract

Abstract: The excitation functions of deuteron-induced reactions on 169 Tm were measured using the stacked-foil method and high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. The production cross sections of a medical radionuclide 169 Yb were investigated. The result was compared with the previous experiments and found to be in good agreement. In addition to 169 Yb, the production cross sections of Tm isotopes, 170 Tm, 168 Tm and 167 Tm, were measured. These results were compared with the TALYS calculations taken from the TENDL-2015 online data library. Highlights: Production cross sections of 169 Tm(d, x) reactions were measured up to 24 MeV. The production cross sections were measured by the stacked-foil activation method. Experimental data were compared with TENDL-2015. Excitation function of 170 Tm production cross section was measured first time.
