Excitation functions were calculated for the α-particle induced reactions In(α,x)Sn, Cd(α,n)Sn, Cd(α,3n)Sn and Cd(α,x)Sn to analyse the production of the medically important Sn (T = 13.6 d). For calculations three nuclear model codes (i.e. TALYS, EMPIRE and ALICE-IPPE) were used and the results were compared with the available experimental data. For the most important reaction, Cd(α,3n)Sn, evaluated data are presented. The yield and radionuclidic purity of Sn from each reaction are discussed.
计算了α粒子诱发反应In(α,x)Sn、Cd(α,n)Sn、Cd(α,3n)Sn和Cd(α,x)Sn的激发函数,以分析具有医学重要性的Sn(半衰期T = 13.6天)的产生情况。计算中使用了三种核模型代码(即TALYS、EMPIRE和ALICE-IPPE),并将结果与现有的实验数据进行了比较。对于最重要的反应Cd(α,3n)Sn,给出了评估数据。讨论了各反应中Sn的产率和放射性核素纯度。
