Abstract

Target foil stacks of zirconium were bombarded with beams of alpha particles at incident energies ≤55.0 MeV. Excitation functions for the production of99mMo,90Mo,97gNb,90Nb,95Zr,92Y,90mY and86Y were determined. On the basis of the cross sections, the thick target yields and saturation production rates of95Zr have been evaluated.
