Abstract

Excitation functions were measured for the formation of ^122mCs, ¹²²Xe, ¹²¹Xe and ¹²¹I from threshold up to 44 MeV in proton induced nuclear reactions on 99.9% enriched ¹²⁴Xe. The feasibility of ¹²²Xe→¹²²I generator production was investigated. The optimum energy range for the production of ¹²²Xe is E_p = 43 → 35 MeV and the thick target yield amounts to 13.5 mCi/μAh. After an appropriate cooling time a generator containing several hundred mCi of ¹²²Xe could be produced. The daughter ¹²²I could be milked off periodically and would be >99% pure.
