Abstract

Excitation functions were measured from threshold up to 100 MeV for the production of 111In and 111Sn, as well as of each of their main radioisotopic contaminants, in the proton bombardment of natCd and natIn, respectively. Thick-target production-rate curves, based on the measured excitation functions, were derived in each case. The results are discussed in terms of expected yields and contamination levels of 111In produced under various conditions via the natCd(p, xn) 111In and natIn(p, xn) 111Sn→ 111In production routes. The experimental excitation functions obtained were also compared with theoretical calculations performed with the computer code ALICE/85/300, and excellent agreement was obtained.
