✦ Synopsis

Excitation functions of the reactions nat Yb(a,xn) 170,171,173,175,177m2 Hf, nat Yb(a,x) 171g,172g,177g,178m Lu and nat Yb(a,x) 169g,177g Yb have been measured up to 39 MeV, among them seven ( 170,171,173,177m2 Hf, 177g,178m Lu, 177g Yb) are reported for the first time. The experimental excitation functions are compared to the theoretical calculations based on the model code ALICE-IPPE and to the only data-set found in the literature. Yields of different production routes of the therapeutically relevant 177 Lu are compared.
