Description
The production cross sections of 163,165,166,167,168Tm in alpha-particle induced reactions on 165Ho were measured in 27-60 MeV energy range using the stacked-foil activation technique. The thick target yield of the medical isotope 167Tm is 2.22 MBq/µAh. The radioisotope 165Tm that can be used in the generator system to obtain 165Er is also produced. The measured excitation functions were compared with the data from TENDL-2019 and TENDL-2021 libraries and the previous experimental values. Various methods of 165Tm and 165Er production were compared. The reaction 165Ho(α,4n)165Tm → 165Er was considered as a potential method for the production of 165Er. (author)
