Abstract
Proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) has been applied to the measurement of the production cross section of a radionuclide decaying by electron capture. By performing a PIXE type experiment on the daughter nuclide important advantages are obtained. The determination of some factors with usually large uncertainties, like solid angle and detector efficiency were avoided. The method was applied to the determination of cross section of the reaction 63Cu(d, p)64Cu at 2.4 MeV for 64Cu production. This result is in full agreement with that obtained through the decay of the 1346 keV gamma ray of 64Cu.
