【 摘 要 】

Nuclear excitation functions for proton induced reactions on antimony targets have been measured up to 68 MeV using stacked foil activation techniques at the Crocker Laboratory of the University of California at Davis. Measurements made are expected to be useful in production of therapeutic radionuclides Sb-119 (via production of its parents Te-119m and Te-119g) and Sn-117m. This work extends the energy coverage of available data upwards by approximately 30 MeV into a range relevant to medium-energy radionuclide production facilities like the Isotope Production Facility in Los Alamos, New Mexico and the Brookhaven Linear Isotope Producer in Upton, New York.
