New cross section data and review of production routes of medically used 110mIn

• 110mIn production cross sections and yields.
• Stacked foil irradiation technique.
• Comparison of experimental results with the ALICE, EMPIRE and TALYS theoretical model codes.
• Proton, deuteron, 3He and alpha activations.

Evaluation of nuclear data for production routes of 110mIn is in progress in the frame of an IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP). New experimental cross section data for the indirect natIn(p,x)110Sn-110mIn and for the direct 107Ag(α,n)110mIn and 109Ag(3He,2n)110mIn production routes and for the satellite impurity reactions 107Ag(α,xn)110g,109In and 109Ag(3He,xn)110g,111,109In have been measured by using the activation method, stacked foil irradiation technique and gamma-ray spectrometry. Additional data are reported for production of the 111In diagnostic gamma-emitter via the 109Ag(α,2n)111In reaction. The earlier experimental data were critically reviewed in order to prepare recommended data and optimal production parameters for the different routes.
