Abstract

The attempts to produce neutron deficient radioisotopes of rare Earth elements by heavy ion activation are discussed in this review. The heavy ion induced reaction products have large atomic number difference with that of the target; therefore, radiochemical separation of no-carrier-added radio-lanthanides from the target matrix becomes easier. Heavy ion induced reactions also allow the production of rare Earth radionuclides from non-rare Earth target by tailor-made target-projectile combinations, and in those cases, radiochemical separations become even more easier. In general, the cross sections of heavy ion induced reactions are less than those of light charged particle induced reactions. However, some of the heavy ion induced reactions have comparable cross sections with those of light ion induced reactions. The range of heavy ions is also much smaller in the target matrix than that of lighter charged particles. These points hinder application of heavy ion induced reactions to produce radionuclides for nuclear medicine.

Keywords: heavy ion activation; neutron deficient radionuclides; no-carrier-added radionuclides; theoretical simulation
