The proton induced nuclear reactions on Mn were considered to investigate for the production of Fe. The experimental results obtained by Mn(p,4n)Fe reaction were compared with the results of nuclear model calculations using the codes ALICE-IPPE, EMPIRE 3.2 and TALYS 1.9. The thick target yields (TTY) of Fe were calculated from the recommended excitation functions. Analysis of impurities was also discussed. A comparison of the various radio-impurities showed that for the production of Fe via Mn(p,4n)Fe reaction, energy ranges from 70→45 MeV could be the method of choice, which gives high yield with minimum impurities to make it as a potential candidate for theranostic applications and in particular, Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
考虑质子诱发的锰核反应以研究铁的产生。将通过锰（p，4n）铁反应获得的实验结果与使用ALICE - IPPE、EMPIRE 3.2和TALYS 1.9代码进行的核模型计算结果进行了比较。根据推荐的激发函数计算了铁的厚靶产额（TTY）。还讨论了杂质分析。各种放射性杂质的比较表明，对于通过锰（p，4n）铁反应生产铁，70→45 MeV的能量范围可能是首选方法，该方法能以最低杂质获得高产额，使其成为治疗诊断应用特别是正电子发射断层扫描（PET）的潜在候选者。
