| Summary, etc |
The study includes the evaluation of the production data of 68Ga radionuclide, the halflife of its ground state is 68min. It is a potential candidate for diagnostic studies in the<br/>field of nuclear medicine; it is gaining importance in the present era, because of its<br/>applications as a positron-emitter in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single<br/>Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). Its evaluation leads the optimization<br/>of production of 68Ga radionuclide. It is usually produced using generator method using<br/>68Ge/68Ga generator pair but the availability of generator system is limited at commercial<br/>level. 68Ga can also be produced using charged particle irradiation using cyclotrons. In<br/>this way it can be produced with the vicinity of the hospital. So this work was planned to<br/>find out the alternative production possibilities of 68Ga production. In this work we have<br/>evaluated total nine reactions namely68Zn(p,n)68Ga,72Ge(p,x)68Ga, 68Zn(d,2n)68<br/>Ga,70Ge(d,α)68Ga, 65Cu(α,n)68Ga, natZn(α,x)68Ga,67Zn(α,x)68Ga, 68Zn(α,x)68Ga and<br/>68<br/>Zn(3He,x)68Ga. For this purpose the compilation of the data was performed using data<br/>from EXFOR (online source of IAEA) publications and original thesis. The reliability of<br/>the experimental data was cross checked with the results of three nuclear model<br/>calculation codes i.e. ALICE-IPPE, EMPIRE and results of TALYS from TENDLE-2015<br/>database. In consistent and wrong values were rejected and not included in the further<br/>evaluation. Then the recommended curve of the selected data was gained using the<br/>conventional polynomial fitting of the all selected experimental data of a production<br/>route. In addition to the fit we have also reported the 95% confidence limit of our<br/>recommended values; which is based mainly on the errors in the cross section. Then on<br/>the basis of the polynomial fittings a recommended data set will be generated that will be<br/>useful for the optimization of a specific production route. In present work, the on-site<br/>production routes for 68Ga were considered. 68Ga can be produced at small sized<br/>cyclotron using 68Zn(p,n)68Ga reaction and at medium sized cyclotron, the reaction<br/>65Cu(α,n)68Ga appear to be most important production route. |
