Abstract
The 89Zr, is one of the radionuclide with near-ideal properties for PET due to its suitable half-life and decay properties. The cross-section of 89Zr via 89Y(p,n)89Zr, 89Y(d,2n)89Zr, natSr(α,xn)89Zr and natZr(p,pxn)89Zr, were calculated by the TALYS-1.8 code to predict the optimum range of charge particle energy. The Monte Carlo code GEANT4 was used to simulate the formation of 89Zr in the target body. The simulated 89Zr yield was in good agreement with published experimental results in the optimum energy range. According to the calculations, the 89Y(p,n)89Zr was superior to the other reactions useful to medical application.
