Abstract

The production of 172Tm by the triple capture through the reaction chain of triple neutron capture: 169Tm(n,γ)170Tm(n,γ)171Tm(n,γ)172Tm is informed. The experimental details of irradiations and measurements, as well as the verification of the identity of the radionuclide and the reactions leading to its formation, are described.
