Estimated thick target EOSB yields for production of ^44gSc, ^44mSc and ⁴³Sc as a function of proton bombardment energy. This represents yields from an unenriched natural calcium metal target with the isotopic ratios listed in Table 2. The values curves were calculated using the cross-section data from Levkovskij (1991) and proton ranges from SRIM (Ziegler, 1985). Note: This graph shows saturation yields. When estimating a production yield, irradiation time must be considered.
