Calculation of Production and Decay of Radioisotopes for Future Irradiation Experiments and Ion Beam Facilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of future radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities requires the forecast of radio isotope inventory after irradiation. At CERN – ISOLDE, we developed a software that estimates the activity of irradiated materials as a function of time dedicated to radioactive waste management. This tool can also be used for licensing procedures, planning of irradiation experiments and the estimation of yields.

Exotic Ion-beams, Targets and Sources
Exotic beams of short-lived radioisotopes are produced in nuclear reactions such as thermal neutron induced fission, target or projectile fragmentation and fusion reactions. For a given radioactive ion beam (RIB), different production modes are in competition. For each of them the cross section, the intensity of the projectile beam and the target thickness define an upper production rate. The f...
متن کاملRIB for Astrophysics and Neutrino Physics
A production scheme by fast secondary neutrons from a 40 MeV deuteron beam impinging on a converter target provides efficient production in exceptionally high yields of light radioisotopes such as 6He and 8Li. Recent optimization simulations indicate the ability to produce orders of magnitude more intense 6He and 8Li beams than presently available. Such high current Radioactive Ion Beams (RIB) ...
متن کاملSimultaneous production and quality control of 73Se and 75Se radioisotopes in a 30 MeV cyclotron
Background : Selenium-73 (T 1/2 =7.1h) and Selenium-75 (T 1/2 =119.8d) are useful radioisotopes in many research fields. The wide ranges of applications of these radioisotopes arose great interest for their production. Simultaneous production of 73 Se and 75 Se is more cost-effective and less time-consuming. Materials and Methods : 73 As (p, 3n) 73 Se and 75 As (p,n) 75 Se reactions were determ...

Introduction: We investigated the characteristic of a suitable irradiation on skin's tensional strength using design of experiments (DOE). The experiments in this research are designed in two phases and data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used for performance measurement of each phase. Material and Methods: Samples were provided from pleura as surface tissue made of collagen and elastin fibers. ...
متن کاملCalculation of WER values of some dosimetric plastic materials applied at helium ion beam therapy
In this research, water equivalent ratios (WER) at helium ion beam energy ranging 25-250 MeV/u for four potential plastic dosimetric materials: polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and paraffin have been calculated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. Among studied materials, PC and PP with 0.979 and 1.177 show minimum and maximum differences with water respectively....
