Abstract
Theoretical investigations of production of 186gRe radionuclide at low energy proton cyclotron C18/18 are performed. Different models from the TALYS 1.9 and EMPIRE 3.2 codes as well as ACSELAM library were used to calculate the nuclear excitation function and yield of 186gRe production in 186W(p,n) nuclear reaction. The excitation functions of proton-induced reactions are compared with available experimental data. Possible impurities from the accompanying reactions to the production of 186gRe are estimated in the proton energy range up to 18 MeV accessible for cyclotron C18/18 located at the A. Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory (Yerevan Physics Institute).
