The goal of PASTA project (acronym for production with accelerator of$^{47}$Sc for theranostic applications) is the determination of excitation functions associated to several nuclear reactions, aimed at yielding the theranostic radionuclide$^{47}$Sc. This work reports the main results obtained by i...
