New cross section data and review of production routes of medically used ^110mIn

Highlights: •^110mIn production cross sections and yields. •Stacked foil irradiation technique. •Comparison of experimental results with the ALICE, EMPIRE and TALYS theoretical model codes. •Proton, deuteron, ³He and alpha activations. -- Abstract: Evaluation of nuclear data for production routes of ^110mIn is in progress in the frame of an IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP). New experimental cross section data for the indirect ^natIn(p,x)¹¹⁰Sn-^110mIn and for the direct ¹⁰⁷Ag(α,n)^110mIn and ¹⁰⁹Ag(³He,2n)^110mIn production routes and for the satellite impurity reactions ¹⁰⁷Ag(α,xn)^110g,109In and ¹⁰⁹Ag(³He,xn)^110g,111,109In have been measured by using the activation method, stacked foil irradiation technique and gamma-ray spectrometry. Additional data are reported for production of the ¹¹¹In diagnostic gamma-emitter via the ¹⁰⁹Ag(α,2n)¹¹¹In reaction. The earlier experimental data were critically reviewed in order to prepare recommended data and optimal production parameters for the different routes
