| Popis: | We studied the production of 67Cu medical radioisotope by irradiating Zn targets of natural isotopic composition by bremsstrahlung photons with endpoint energies of 30 and 40 MeV. Cross-sections per equivalent quantum of 67Cu, 64Cu, 62Zn, 63Zn, 65Zn, and 69mZn activation products were measured. The specific activities of 67Cu were found to be 2.04 and 4.78 µCi/(µA∙h∙g) at the end of the bombardment for 30 and 40 MeV bremsstrahlung maximum energies, respectively. |
