Production cross-sections of ¹⁰³Ag obtained by irradiating ^natPd and ^natCd with 70 MeV protons are presented and compared with ALICE-IPPE model calculations. Production of ¹⁰³Ag is of interest for the generation of ¹⁰³Pd widely used in brachytherapy. The investigated energy range of the ¹⁰³Rh(d,2n)¹⁰³Pd reaction was extended up to 40 MeV and the results were compared with the curves of ALICE-IPPE, EMPIRE-II and GNASH theoretical codes. Thick target yields were calculated. An overview and analysis of the most important charged particle induced production routes of ¹⁰³Pd is presented. An explanation of the apparent discrepancy in the activity measurements for ¹⁰³Rh based on X- or gamma-ray is given.
