ABSTRACT: The nuclear structure for some target nuclei namely: 32S, 58Ni, 89Y, 90Zr, 100Mo and 197Au used for
production of the therapeutic radionuclides; 32P, 58Co, 89Sr, 90Y, 99Mo, 100Tc, 197Pt and 197Hg has been investigated using Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method based on Skyrme
effective two-body interaction. For these purpose, we have calculated the
various nuclear densities, the corresponding root mean square radii and nuclear binding energies. The density dependent initial neutron and
proton exciton numbers have been also calculated which
give the ability to investigate the neutron and proton induced reaction
cross-sections for these target nuclei using hybrid model for pre-equilibrium nuclear reactions. The
calculated results are compared with available experimental data.
