The lighter, positron emitting isotopes Br-75 and Br-76 have already been in use for some time in molecular imaging with PET. The two Auger electron emitters Br-77 and Br-80m are of potential interest for internal radiotherapy. In this work new cross section measurements were done on nine (p,xn) reactions on enriched Se targets up to 80 MeV. Thin samples were irradiated in a, stacked-foil arrangement. The produced radioactivity was measured non-destructively using HPGe detector gamma-ray spectrometry. Concerning Br-80m, a special low-energy HPGe detector was used. From the cross section data on the formation of Br-75, Br-76, Br-77 and Br-80m their possible production yields have been deduced and the issue of radionuclidic purity is discussed. Whereas an efficient production of Br-75 is only achievable via intermediate energy reactions above 30 MeV, Br-76 and Br-77 can be produced both with proton energies below 25 MeV as well as with intermediate energy protons up to 70 MeV. The production of Br-80m appears to be a good application of small accelerators. |
