Both radionuclides have potential for diagnostic procedures. In the present work cross section data for reactions induced by proton and alpha particles on isotopes of cadmium and silver were critically assessed. At first the experimental data were scrutinized for consistency, then compared with the theoretical calculations using three nuclear model codes which are ALICE-IPPE, EMPIRE and TALYS. Nuclear model parameters were adjusted to obtain better agreement between theoretical and measured data. Finally, a recommendation is given regarding the optimum energy range for the desired radionuclide through each reaction.enDepartment of PhysicsSP19PhysicsTargets for Production of 110mIn and 111InReactionsMuhammad Naveed AslamThesis
