Abstract
The proton induced nuclear reactions on 55Mn were considered to investigate for the production of 52Fe. The experimental results obtained by 55Mn(p,4n)52Fe reaction were compared with the results of nuclear model calculations using the codes ALICE-IPPE, EMPIRE 3.2 and TALYS 1.9. The thick target yields (TTY) of 52Fe were calculated from the recommended excitation functions. Analysis of impurities was also discussed. A comparison of the various radio-impurities showed that for the production of 52Fe via 55Mn(p,4n)52Fe reaction, energy ranges from 70→45 MeV could be the method of choice, which gives high yield with minimum impurities to make it as a potential candidate for theranostic applications and in particular, Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
