Description

Thick target yields for the reactions 51V(p,n)51Cr and 51V(d,2n)51Cr were measured and compared with literature values. The excitation function for the 51V(p,n)51Cr reaction was also measured. A method for the production and separation of this radioisotope was developed via the 51V(p,n)51Cr reaction and a combination of Fe+3 coprecipitation and an anion exchange technique using a Dowex 1X8 (100-200 mesh) resin in hydrochloric acid medium.
