The excitation functions for proton and deuteron induced reactions on natural molybdenum for the production of 99Mo were measured. The proton induced reaction was measured in the energy range of 11.3–49.6 MeV, and the deuteron induced reaction was measured in the energy range of 9.7–58.5 MeV. Both beams were generated by the 88" cyclotron located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The results are compared to previously published data. Thick target yields were obtained by direct measurement, in addition to being determined by integration of the measured cross sections.
► Cross sections were measured using the stacked foil technique. ► Cross sections were measured for the natMo(d,x)99Mo and natMo(p,x)99Mo reactions. ► Thick target yields were determined for the natMo(d,x)99Mo reactions up to 59 MeV. ► Thick target yields were determined for the natMo(p,x)99Mo reactions up to 50 MeV.
