Abstract
This work develops a theoretical-experimental procedure for production of 186gRe radionuclide at low energy cyclotrons. TALYS code with different level density models is used to calculate the excitation function of natW(p,x)186gRe reaction up to 30 MeV incident energy. To prepare the target, the natural tungsten is deposited on a copper substrate via sedimentation technique. The target is irradiated by 15 MeV protons at 20 μA beam current for 1 h. 186gRe is radiochemically separated from tungsten contaminations and its production yield is measured. In parallel to the experiment, a Monte Carlo method is appended to simulate the irradiation process.
