Excitation functions were measured for the 89Y(d,x)90m,88,87m,87m+g Y, 89Y(d,x)88,89Zr and 89Y(d,x) 85Sr reactions in the energy range 9–40 MeV by the stacked-foil activation technique in combination with high resolution HPGe γ-ray spectroscopy. The data above 27 MeV have been measured for the first time. Yield calculations revealed that in the deuteron-induced activation of yttrium the direct production of 88Y is about two times lower than that of 88Zr. The maximum cross section for the production of the PET isotope 89Zr by the Y+d process is higher than by Y+p. The yields and decay characteristics of the 88Y and 88Zr nuclides are suitable for thin layer activation (TLA) analysis.
