[2G06] 99Mo yields of Mo metal and MoO3 with respect to Ta, W, Pt, and Au converters

Keywords:Mo-99/Tc-99m, converter, bremsstrahlung, electron linear accelerator, PHITS

Electron linear accelerators utilizing the 100Mo(γ,n)99Mo reaction are a promising alternative to the aging research reactors for 99Mo/99mTc roduction. To investigate the suitable converter for the 100Mo(γ,n)99Mo reaction, we calculated the 99Mo yields of metallic Mo and MoO3 with respect to Ta, W, Pt, and Au converters using PHITS.
