Production cross-section calculations of medical ³²P, ¹¹⁷Sn, ¹⁵³Sm and ^186,188Re radionuclides used in bone pain palliation treatment

In this study, production cross-section calculations of ³²P, ¹¹⁷Sn, ¹⁵³Sm and ^186,188Re radionuclides used in bone pain palliation treatment produced by ³⁰Si(d,γ)³²P, ¹¹⁸Sn(γ,n)¹¹⁷Sn, ¹¹⁶Sn(n,γ)¹¹⁷Sn, ¹⁵⁰Nd(α,n)¹⁵³Sm, ¹⁵⁴Sm(n,2n)¹⁵³Sm, ¹⁵²Sm(n,γ)¹⁵³Sm, ¹⁸⁶W(d,2n)¹⁸⁶Re, ¹⁸⁷Re(γ,n)¹⁸⁶Re, ¹⁸⁵Re(n,γ)¹⁸⁶Re and ¹⁸⁷Re(n,γ)¹⁸⁸Re reactions have been investigated in the different incident energy range of 0.003-34 MeV. Two-component exciton and generalised superfluid models of the TALYS 1.6 and exciton and generalised superfluid models of the EMPIRE 3.1 computer codes have been used to pre-equilibrium (PEQ) reaction calculations. The calculated production cross-section results have been compared with available experimental results existing in the experimental nuclear reaction database (EXFOR). Except the ¹¹⁸Sn(γ,n)¹¹⁷Sn, ¹⁵⁰Nd(α,n)¹⁵³Sm and ¹⁸⁵Re(n,γ)¹⁸⁶Re reactions, the two-component exciton model calculations of TALYS 1.6 code exhibit generally good agreement with the experimental measurements for all reactions used in this present study.
