Here, experiments were performed to evaluate production of ⁷²Se, parent radionuclide of the positron emitter ⁷²As, at high energy at the Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer (BLIP). Excitation functions for ⁷⁵As(p, xn)^72/75Se in the 52-105 MeV energy range were measured by irradiating thin gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers. Maximum cross section value for the ^natAs(p, 4n)⁷²Se reaction in the energy range was 103 ± 9 mb at 52 ± 1 MeV. Production size GaAs and arsenic metal (As°) targets were irradiated with 136 μA and 165 μA beam current possessing an initial Linac energy of 117 MeV. A total of 3.77 ± 0.1 GBq (102 ± 3 mCi) of ⁷²Se was produced from a GaAs target at a calculated target entrance energy of 105.4 MeV, and 13.8 ± 0.3 GBq (373 ± 8 mCi) of ⁷²Se from an As° target at a calculated incident energy of 49.5 MeV irradiated for 116.5 h and 68.9 h, respectively.
