Optimization of the rate of production 99Mo-99mTC through fission in the TRR
Technetium is one of the most important radioisotopes recognized in medicine which is obtained through the decay of molybdenum 99.The half-life of this radioisotope is 6 hours and it is capable of 140 kev gamma ray emission. Due to its short half-life, this radioisotope must be produced at the site of consumption, so that the shortest possible time interval between production and consumption c...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo study of SPECT in boron neutron capture therapy for a heterogeneous human phantom
Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapy combining biochemical targeting with neutron irradiation. However, monitoring the boron distribution is a fundamental problem in BNCT. Prompt gamma rays emitted by boron capture reaction can be used to address the issue. Materials and Methods: The general-purpose Monte Carlo toolkits Geant4 and MCNP were used for the simu...
متن کاملPHOTOFISSION OF 232Th NEAR THRESHOLD
Measurements are presented of the photofission cross section and the mean number fi of neutrons per fission for 232Th made using bremsstrahlung from the Harwell electron linear accelerator HELIOS and a high efficiency neutron detector to record neutron multiplicity distributions. The cross section is interpreted in terms of a fission barrier with shallow wells in two separate outer barriers. In...
متن کاملMeasurement and Simulation of Neutron/Gamma-Ray Cross-Correlation Functions from Spontaneous Fission
We present an application of a digital pulse shape discrimination (PSD) technique for the novel measurement of cross-correlation functions from a spontaneous fission source. The measurement method allows for the collection of fast coincidences within a time window of the order of a few tens of nanoseconds. The use of PSD allows for the accurate acquisition of the coincidences in all particle co...
