Excitation functions, for production

The excitation function for production of As radioisotopes via Ge (p, xn) reactions has been determined . Only As is obtainable in sufficiently pure form after the appropriate cooling time . Employing Ge or Ge enriched targets, the As could be produced in higher yields via (p,n) or (p,3n) nuclear reactions. An isotope generator for carrier-free As, the daughter of neutron-deficient Se, has been proposed . ...
