The conversion electrons and gamma-rays emitter Sn-117m is a promising theranostic radionuclide produced mainly at nuclear reactors with low specific activity. The variety of possible applications suggests the necessity of a larger production, more likely reachable at cyclotrons. The irradiation of Cd-nat and In-nat targets with the 30 MeV alpha-beam, available at the Heavy Ion Laboratory (HIL) of Warsaw, aims to measure the production cross-sections of Sn-117m and its contaminants. Theoretical calculations are also performed to support the experimental results.

Abstract
The conversion electrons and gamma-rays emitter Sn-117m is a promising theranostic radionuclide produced mainly at nuclear reactors with low specific activity. The variety of possible applications suggests the necessity of a larger production, more likely reachable at cyclotrons. The irradiation of Cd-nat and In-nat targets with the 30 MeV alpha-beam, available at the Heavy Ion Laboratory (HIL) of Warsaw, aims to measure the production cross-sections of Sn-117m and its contaminants. Theoretical calculations are also performed to support the experimental results.File in questo prodotto:
