摘要

Abstract

Production routes were recorded on available reactions for ,111,Ag production from nuclear reactors or cyclotrons using a natural palladium target based on ,110,Pd(n, γ) and ,110,pd(d, n) reactions, respectively. ,nat,Cd(γ, x) based on ,110,Cd(γ, p) has also been studied as a prospective reaction for the production of ,111,Ag. Unfortunately, these nuclear reactions are difficult to utlize because, in some cases, they reduce the specific activity of ,111,Ag. This is a consequence of the stable silver isotopes produced in high concentrations. These isotopes include ,107, 109,Ag and, in other cases, the high impurity of silver radioisotopes, such as ,110m, 106m, 105,Ag, that are produced during parallel nuclear reactions. Due to a scarcity of data regarding the (γ, α) reaction, the gamma reaction on natural indium for ,111,Ag production based on the ,115,In(γ, α) reaction was calculated. The ,nat,In(γ, α) reaction satisfies the criteria as a possible reaction to produce ,111,Ag with a sufficient yield and purity as consequence of the high ,115,In (95.7 %) abundance as an enriched form and a relatively soft background caused by the parallel nuclear reactions.
