Summary
Terbium-149 (T₁/₂ = 4.1 h, Eα = 3.98 MeV) is a promising candidate for targeted alpha therapy, though its production in sufficient yield and purity is challenging. In this work, the 10B + 142Nd reaction was studied at IUAC, New Delhi, using the stack-foil activation technique and offline γ-ray spectrometry to measure excitation functions over 3–6 MeV/nucleon. Experimental cross-sections were compared with theoretical predictions from PACE4. Results indicate that 149Tb is produced with higher cross-sections than predicted, likely due to contributions from non-compound processes. However, co-production of 148Tb alongside 149Tb complicates radionuclidic purity, highlighting both the potential and challenges of this production route.
