Calculation of excitation functions of proton, alpha and deuteron induced reactions for production of medical radioisotopes 122–125I

In this work, the excitation functions for production of medical radioisotopes 122–125I with proton, alpha, and deuteron induced reactions were calculated by two different level density models. For the nuclear model calculations, the Talys 1.6 code were used, which is the latest version of Talys code series. Calculations of excitation functions for production of the 122–125I isotopes were carried out by using the generalized superfluid model (GSM) and Fermi-gas model (FGM). The results have shown that generalized superfluid model is more successful than Fermi-gas model in explaining the experimental results.
