Abstract :In this work, we investigated the excitation functions of proton-induced reactions on even-even $^{94-100}$Mo isotopes for the production of medical radioisotopes $^{94m, 94g, 96m, 96g, 96, 99m}$Tc. To obtain the excitation functions we carried out cross-section calculations in the frameworks of the generalized superfluid model, microscopic level density model, and three options of the preequilibrium process in the Talys code. The aim of this study was to introduce a new aspect for the production of radioisotopes $^{94m, 94g, 96m, 96g, 96, 99m}$Tc with different models.
