%X Cross section data for the formation of 121,122,123,125,127Xe via proton induced reactions on 127I were criticallyanalyzed. Three nuclear model codes (TALYS 1.9, ALICE-IPPE, and EMPIRE 3.2) were used to ensure the con-sistency and reliability of the experimental data. Utilizing a well-developed evaluation methodology, a recom-mended fit for each excitation function was obtained, based on theoretical predictions of nuclear models andexperimental cross sections. By using the recommended/reference results, thick target yields were calculated foreach production route and its associated impurity reactions. The indirect production of the radionuclides121,122,123,125I was explored. Special attention was paid to standardization of cross section data for the productionof the medically important radionuclides 127Xe and 123I via the routes 127I(p,n)127Xe and 127I(p,5n)123Xe(EC,β+)123I, respectively.
