Co-production of Tb and Tb irradiating Gd / Eu tandem target with a medium energy α-particle beam.

Introduction: Four terbium isotopes Tb emitting various types of radiation can be used for both diagnostics and therapy. Tb emits positrons and is ideal for PET. Tb is considered a promising Auger emitter and a diagnostic pair for other terbium therapeutic isotopes.

New method for production of Tb via Dy by irradiation of Gd by medium energy alpha particles.

Introduction: Tb (T = 5.32 d) is considered both as a promising Auger electron emitter and as a diagnostic pair for other therapeutic terbium radionuclides. Despite several methods for its production proposed, it remains scarcely available.

Cross sections of He-particle induced reactions on W.

Irradiation of W targets by He particles was carried out. For the first time the cross sections for the reactions of production of Re, Os, W were measured by the stack foil technique in the He energy range of 15-45 MeV. The results were compared to the data from the TENDL-2019 library.
