Abstract

The excitation functions of deuteron-induced reactions on ¹⁶⁹Tm were measured using the stacked-foil method and high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. The production cross sections of a medical radionuclide ¹⁶⁹Yb were investigated. The result was compared with the previous experiments and found to be in good agreement. In addition to ¹⁶⁹Yb, the production cross sections of Tm isotopes, ¹⁷⁰Tm, ¹⁶⁸Tm and ¹⁶⁷Tm, were measured. These results were compared with the TALYS calculations taken from the TENDL-2015 online data library.
