Calculations of ~(86)Y production via various nuclear reactions

TL5; This study obtains a suitable reaction to produce ~(86)Y. The ~(86)Y excitation functions via ~(86)Sr(p,n)~(86)Y,~(86)Sr(d,2n)~(86)Y, ~(85)Rb(~3He,2n)~(86)Y and ~(85)Rb(α,3n)~(86)Y reactions were calculated by TALYS-1.0 code and compared with the reported measurement. Requisite thickness of targets was obtained by SRIM code for each reaction. The ~(86)Y production yield was evaluated with attention to excitation function and stopping power. The ~(86)Sr(p,n)~(86)Y reaction was determined as most interesting one due to its highest production yield and advantages to get high radionuclide and radiochemical purity.
