Measurement of Terbium Isotopes Yield in Irradiation of {sup 151}Eu Targets by {sup 3}He Nuclei

Journal Article · · Atomic Energy (New York)
This article is devoted to obtaining the α-emitter {sup 149}Tb for radioimmunotherapy. A method for producing {sup 149}Tb based on the reaction {sup 151}Eu({sup 3}He, 5n){sup 149}Tb is proposed. It is proposed that europium with native isotopic composition ({sup 151}Eu – 47.81%, {sup 153}Eu – 52.19%) or enriched {sup 151}Eu be used as the target. The 29 MeV threshold of the indicated reaction makes it possible to use accelerators with the initial {sup 3}He energy 40–70 MeV.
