【 摘 要 】

Investigations of cross-sections of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on gold were extended up to 50 MeV by using the standard stacked foil irradiation technique and high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. New cross-sections are reported for the Au-197(d,xn)Hg-197m,Hg- 197g,Hg- 195m,Hg- 195g,Hg- 193m,Hg- 193g and Au-197(d,x)(198m, 198g, 196m, 196g, 195, 194) Au nuclear reactions. The application for production of the medically relevant isotopes Au-198 and Hg-195m,Hg- 195m,Hg- 197m,Hg- 197g is discussed, including the comparison with other charged particle induced production routes. The possible use of the Au-197(d,x)Hg-197m,Hg- 197g,Hg- 193m and Au-196m,Au- 196g reactions for monitoring deuteron beam parameters is also investigated. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
