Abstract

We investigated 89Zr production induced by deuteron beams on yttrium targets at energies up to Ed = 32 MeV using the stacked-foil activation technique. Cross sections of the following nuclear reactions 89Y(d,2n)89Zr, 89Y(d,3n)88Zr and 89Y(d,x)88Y have also been measured. Based on the measured values, we determined the thick target yields for 89Zr and 88Zr which is the main contaminant associated to the production of 89Zr.
