225Ac and 223Ra production via 800 MeV proton irradiation of natural thorium targets.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cross sections for the formation of (225,227)Ac, (223,225)Ra, and (227)Th via the proton bombardment of natural thorium targets were measured at a nominal proton energy of 800 MeV. No earlier experimental cross section data for the production of (223,225)Ra, (227)Ac and (227)Th by this method were found in the literature. A comparison of theoretical predictions with the experimental data shows agreement within a factor of two. Results indicate that accelerator-based production of (225)Ac and (223)Ra is a viable production method.

Proton-induced cross sections relevant to production of 225Ac and 223Ra in natural thorium targets below 200 MeV.
Cross sections for (223,)(225)Ra, (225)Ac and (227)Th production by the proton bombardment of natural thorium targets were measured at proton energies below 200 MeV. Our measurements are in good agreement with previously published data and offer a complete excitation function for (223,)(225)Ra in the energy range above 90 MeV. Comparison of theoretical predictions with the experimental data sho...
متن کاملDependence of quality of thallium-201 on irradiation data
Backgrounds: Thallium-201 is produced through 203Tl (p, 3n) 201pb 201Tl reaction by cyclotron. This radioisotope has known as one of the cyclotron radioisotopes which is used for myocardial perfusion in the coronary artery disease, Tl-201 after chemical purification and quality control in the form of 201Tl-chlorid is ready to send to the hospitals. Materials and methods: In this work the effect...
متن کاملTargetry for cyclotron production of no-carrier-added cadmium-109 from natAg(p,n)109Cd reaction
Background: Solid targets that consist of powder and electrodeposited targets are used commonly to produce radionuclides by accelerators. Since silver is easily electrodeposited in cyanide baths and has a very excellent thermal conductivity, the electrodeposited target is preferable to produce 109Cd. To avoid cracking or peeling of the target during bombardment, it should have a level surface a...
متن کاملANALYSIS OF A CLAD TUNGSTEN TARGET AFTER IRRADIATION IN AN 800 MeV PROTON BEAM
For the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) and the Accelerator Driven Transmutation Facility (ADTF), tungsten is being proposed as a target material to produce neutrons. Previous work showed that the mechanical properties of tungsten are degraded from irradiation in a neutron flux but little work had been performed on the irradiation of tungsten in a high energy proton beam. In this study,...
