Abstract

Excitation functions and yields are described for ¹²³I production via the ¹²⁷I(p, 5n) ¹²³Xe{A figure is presented}¹²³I reaction. The ¹²³Xe and ¹²⁵Xe excitation functions were determined experimentally by irradiating thin (2 MeV thick) ¹²⁷I targets at the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory. The ¹²³Xe excitation function is used to obtain ¹²³Xe yield as a function of target thickness for commonly used target materials and for different incident proton energies. These results indicate that yields of several curies per hour of ¹²³Xe are possible using a 10μA proton beam. Radio-chemical impurities were measured and found to be small.
