Evaluation of Excitation Functions for ¹⁸⁶W(d,p)¹⁸⁷W and ¹⁸⁶W(d,2n)¹⁸⁶Re Reactions and Calculation of Thick Target Yield

The deuteron-induced excitation functions for ¹⁸⁶W(d, p)¹⁸⁷W and ¹⁸⁶W(d, 2n)¹⁸⁶Re reactions were evaluated with the correction of γ-ray branch ratio, radioactive decay constant and standard cross sections. The available experimental data for these reactions were collected and analyzed. The experimental data of analysis and treatment were fitted using mathematical method. Simultaneously, the excitation functions for ¹⁸⁶W(d, p)¹⁸⁷W and ¹⁸⁶W(d, 2n)¹⁸⁶Re reactions were calculated using TALYS code. The recommendations of excitation functions for ¹⁸⁶W(d, p)¹⁸⁷W and ¹⁸⁶W(d, 2n)¹⁸⁶Re reactions below 50 MeV were obtained after comprehensive evaluation. The thick target yields of the medical radioisotope ¹⁸⁶Re were calculated using the recommended excitation function of ¹⁸⁶W(d, 2n)¹⁸⁶Re reaction.
