Abstract
The excitation functions for the production of **6**6Ga and some other radionuclides produced by the **4He-particle bombardment of a natural copper target have been measured up to 31 MeV incident energy. The radiochemical separation of **6**6Ga from the irradiated copper target as well as from the other radionuclides formed is described. The yield of **6**6Ga at 18 MeV incident energy is 708 mu Ci/ mu Ah at end of bombardment and the contamination of **6**7Ga is 0. 25%. The intended use of the **6**6Ga produced is to label monoclonal antibodies for PET scanning.
