The calculation of the cross sections of different nuclear reactions which are used on the production of indium-111 medical radioisotope

In this study, the medical application field of a proton accelator and a neutron generator are investigated. In both systems, Indium radioisotope producing reactions will be examined from different target materials. The nuclear reaction cross sections, which were induced by proton, neutron, deuteron, alpha and gamma energies from 5 MeV to 70 MeV, calculated by using equilibrium and pre-equilibrium nüclear models. By comparing the experimental values obtained from the literature, and the theoretical calculations, the optimum energy range for Indium radioisotope production are determined.
