On the basis of a comparison with theoretical predictions, we found that nuclides of 210At are produced via a break-up process rather than from the 209Bi(7Li, p5n)210At reaction. The excitation functions obtained in this study provide the most favorable conditions for 211Rn production in terms of available radioactivity and nuclide purity of the irradiated material.}, pages = {921--926}, title = {Measurements of the excitation functions of radon and astatine isotopes from 7Li-induced reactions with 209Bi for development of a 211Rn–211At generator}, volume = {323}, year = {2019} }
