Description

The present study is aimed to calculate the excitation functions for the production of 64Cu, 169Yb and 192Ir radioisotopes used in medical field to study genetic diseases affecting copper metabolism, such as Wilson's and Menke's diseases; as an internal radiotherapy source for cancer treatment and cerebrospinal fluid studies in the brain respectively. Our study is focused on proton projectile based reaction to produce radioisotopes
