Calculation of productions of medical 201Pb, 198Au, 186Re, 111Ag, 103Pd, 90Y, 89Sr, 77Kr, 77As, 67Cu, 64Cu, 47Sc and 32P nuclei used in cancer therapy via phenomenological and microscopic level density models

An application and importance of production of medical radioisotopes used in cancer therapy and diagnosis

“…Therefore, we used 45 Sc(n,α) 42 K and 50 Cr(d,n) 51 Mn reactions where the purities of the target materials are above 99% and each target is uniform [5,7,8]. The cross-section calculations were performed two component exciton models via TALYS 1.9 code [9] and the level density model was chosen Fermi gas model with constant temperature [1]. The calculated results for each reaction were compared with experimental data obtained from Exfor database [10].…”

“…Nuclear medicine plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment of cancerous cells using different devices some of which are Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), which are used in diagnostic aims [1][2][3][4]. Addition to diagnosis, cancer treatment is also available in nuclear medicine; however, the therapy can be separated two section as internal and external therapy.…”

The investigation of the production of Ac-227, Ra-228, Th-228, and U-232 in thorium by particle accelerators for use in radioisotope power systems and nuclear batteries

“…Nuclear reactions provide production of new nuclei, which are not natural, to use in nuclear medicine, space researches, shielding, energy production etc. The nuclear reactions can be performed by nuclear reactors or particle accelerators to produce different radioisotopes in the literature [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. One of the most important radioisotopes produced by nuclear reactions is energetic radioisotopes that can be used in nuclear batteries, which have vital role for 2 microelectronic and space researches as an energy source.…”

“…activation equation as dependent on atomic weight 𝑀, the projectile current 𝐼 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑚 , Avogadro constant 𝑁 𝐴 and isotopic abundance 𝐻, the cross-section of the reactions 𝜎(𝐸), the decay constant (𝜆 = 𝑙𝑛2 𝑇 1/2 ⁄ ), the proton, deuteron, triton, helium-3 and alpha mass stopping powers of Th-232 target obtained by the X-PMSP 2.0 program[1,4,5,[7][8][9]19].Cross-section calculations of reaction processesTo produce Ac-227, Ra-228, Th-228 and U-232 on Th-232 targets via particle accelerators, the cross-section calculations were calculated for the proton, deuteron, triton, helium-3 and alphainduced reaction processes, and the calculated cross-section curves were compared with the experimental data in the literature as shown in FIG.2. Each figure dependents on incident particle energy based on induced reaction type.…”
