Description

Aim of the presented study is to compare the calculated cross sections for the production of 140Nd/140Pr and 114mIn/114In via different reactions with incident particle energy up to 50 MeV as a part of systematic studies on particle-induced activations on metal target, theoretical calculation of production yield, calculation of target thickness requirement and suggestion for optimum reaction to produce Neodymium-140 and Indium-114m. 140Nd/140Pr and 114mIn/114In excitation functions via natCe(3He,xn)140Nd → 140Pr, 141Pr(p,2n)140Nd → 140Pr, 141Pr(d,3n)140Nd → 140Pr, 114Cd(p,n)114mIn → 114In, 114Cd(d,2n)114mIn → 114In and 116Cd(p,3n)114mIn → 114In reactions were calculated by ALICE/91, ALICE/ASH (GDH Model and Hybrid Model) and TALYS-1.2 (Equilibrium and Pre-Equilibrium) codes and compared to existing data.
