Abstract
The excitation function of the Er-nat(p,xn)Tm-165 reaction resulting in production of Er-165 was measured up to 70 MeV by activation of stacked foils practically for the first time. The theoretical interpretation is based on the results of the ALICE-IPPE and EMPIRE-II codes. From the measured experimental cross section data integral production yield was calculated and compared with experimental integral yield data reported in the literature. Different production routes of the therapeutic radioisotope Er-165 were compared. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
