Production and separation of no-carrier-added 48V from 16O irradiated chlorine target

Liquid-liquid extraction of No-carrier-added 129Cs with various extractants

Two different iodide targets, BiI₃ and KI were irradiated by α-particles to produce ¹²⁹Cs via ¹²⁷I(α, 2n)¹²⁹Cs reaction. ¹²⁹Cs was separated from bulk Bi (when BiI₃ was used as target) by anion exchanger TOA dissolved in cyclohexane. Irradiation of KI with alpha particle produced ¹²⁹Cs along with minute amount ^44mSc. ^44mSc was successfully separated from ¹²⁹Cs using 18-crown 6 ether dissolved in nitrobenzene.

Studies on production of 43,44,44mSc from 12C+natCl reactions up to 64 MeV projectile energy

For the first-time production of ^43,44,44mSc radionuclides via ¹²C + ^natCl reaction have been reported. Production yield and experimental cross sections of ^natCl(¹²C,xn)^43,44,44mSc up to 64 MeV have been reported. Experimental cross sections have been found comparable with the theoretically evaluated data using PACE4 and EMPIRE3.2.2 codes.
