Abstract
The 120gI, as a positron emitter radioisotope with a suitable half-life of 1.35 h, can be used for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in nuclear medicine. In this study, the range of proton particles in the enriched 122Te target was computed by SRIM and GEANT4 codes and compared. Moreover, the production yield of thick and thin targets and the cross-section of the 122Te(p,3n)120gI reaction were calculated using GEANT4, EMPIRE, and TALYS codes. The Composite Gilbert Cameron Model (CGCM), Back Shifted Fermi Gas Model (BSFGM), General Super Fluid model (GSM), and Optical Model Potential Spherical (OMPs) models of the TALYS code were selected to calculate the cross-section of the 122Te(p,3n)120gI reaction. Comparing the obtained simulation data with the experimental data revealed their good agreement.
