Abstract
The results of experimental data analysis about the accumulation routes of the important medical isotope 103Pd induced by charged particle beams (protons, deuterons, helium-3, helium-4) and neutral particles (gamma and neutrons) are presented. The main generalized data about the nuclear reaction cross-section of 103Pd production versus the irradiation techniques of natural and isotope-enriched targets and their content of unwanted accompanying radio nuclides were compared to theoretical predictions of too. The optimization procedure of the 103Pd accumulation is discussed in order to develop more promising ones, taking into account the requirements for the production of medical radioisotopes.
