      abstract     = {The radionuclide 90Nb (T1/2 = 14.6 h) is a promising
                      non-standard β+-emitter, with potential for use in
                      ImmunoPET. Its production was studied using 90Zr, 91Zr, 93Nb
                      and 89Y targets. Experimental excitation functions of the
                      reactions 90Zr(p,n)90Nb, 91Zr(p,2n)90Nb, 90Zr(d,2n)90Nb,
                      93Nb(p,4n)90Mo(→90Nb) and 89Y(α,3n)90Nb were critically
                      analyzed. The nuclear model codes TALYS 1.9, ALICE-IPPE, and
                      EMPIRE 3.2 were employed to check the consistency and
                      reliability of the experimental data. A well-developed
                      methodology, based on the experimental data and the results
                      of theoretical nuclear models, was used to calculate the
                      recommended data for each excitation function. The same was
                      done for reactions leading to possible radioisotopic
                      impurities. By using the recommended/reference data, thick
                      target yields were calculated for each production route and
                      its corresponding impurity reactions. After a careful
                      analysis and comparison of all production routes, it is
                      concluded that the 90Zr(p,n)90Nb reaction is better for low
                      energy cyclotrons (20 → 5 MeV), and the 91Zr(p,2n)90Nb and
                      90Zr (d,2n)90Nb reactions are suitable for medium energy
                      cyclotrons (30 → 12 MeV). The routes93Nb(p,4n)90Mo→90Nb
                      and 89Y(α,3n)90Nb are suitable for high energy cyclotrons
                      (80 → 31 MeV). For each of these production routes, an
                      optimum energy range is suggested. The recommended results
                      for 90Zr(p,n)90Nb and 91Zr (p,2n)90Nb reactions were
                      validated by comparison with the data for th},
