Abstract
Excitation functions, thin- and thick-target yields for the 181-186Re radionuclides were measured by the activation method on natural tungsten foils for proton energies up to 17 MeV. A new data set has been given for the investigated radionuclides. These results are compared both with the experimental literature values and the ones calculated by the EMPIRE II code (version 2.19). In particular, the attention is focused on Re-186g due to its remarkable applications in Nuclear Medicine for metabolic radiotherapy of tumours.
