Abstract

The excitation functions of 63Cu(p,n)63Zn, 65Cu(p,n)65Zn, 66Zn(p,n)66Ga, 67Zn(p,n)67Ga and 68Zn(p,n)68Ga reactions were computed using the TALYS-1.95 computer code from reaction threshold to 40 MeV energy to yield medically important radioisotopes. The influence of varying level density and effective imaginary potential on reaction cross-section has been investigated. Thus, investigated results have been discussed and compared with previously available experimental data. The analysis of the cross-sections at the maximum value of energy for different reactions exhibits that the (p,n) reaction is the most commonly occurring process. The results so obtained have been found in fair agreement with measured data within error bar limits. The compound and pre-compound nuclear reaction mechanisms have also been analyzed and found very significant for validation of the nuclear model with improved accuracy level.
