New developments in the experimental data for charged particle production of medical radioisotopes

Abstract

The goal of the present work is to give a review of developments achieved experimentally in the field of nuclear data for medically important radioisotopes in the last 3 years. The availability and precision of production related nuclear data is continuously improved mainly experimentally. This review emphasizes a couple of larger fields: the Mo/Tc generator problem and the generator isotopes in general, heavy α-emitters and the rare-earth elements. Other results in the field of medical radioisotope production are also listed.
