Evaluations of charged particle data for production of the therapeutic radionuclides 103Pd, 186Re and 67Cu

The charged particle data for the production of three important radionuclides, namely Pd-103 (T-1/2 = 16.99 d), Re-186 (T-1/2 = 3.7 d) and Cu-67 (T-1/2 = 61.9 h) were evaluated. A statistical procedure supported by nuclear model calculations employing the codes STAPRE, EMPIRE 2.19 and TALYS was used to validate and fit the experimental data. The recommended sets of data, derived together with 95% confidence limits, should be useful for optimization of the production routes of the three radionuclides at cyclotrons
