Investigation of Double Differential Cross Sections of (γ,p) Reaction for¹²C Nuclei

Abstract

Photonuclear reaction data, is important for basic and applied research. In additional to this, double differential data is especially vital in the field of nuclear medicine. The increase in the number of patients, admitted for treatment of cancer with heavy ions, poses a serious problem in terms of the risk of secondary cancer, as a result of exposure to particles of different energy and angle values, released after the nuclear reaction. The main point here is the possibility of damaging organs other than the treated one by the radiation generated in the reactions during the heavy ion therapy. Based on this, in order to assess the risk of secondary cancer the investigations of the double differential cross sections of reaction are required. Double differential cross sections of (γ,p) photonuclear reaction for 12 C nuclei were calculated as functions of incoming photon energy and angle. Nuclear reaction simulation program TALYS 1.2 was used in the calculations. The calculated cross sections were compared with both the experimental cross sections and the evaluated cross sections available in literature.

Calculations of Double Differential Cross Sections on 56Fe, 63Cu and 90Zr Neutron Emission in Proton Induced Reactions

“…As shown in all figures, the fluctuations of the double differential cross sections become smoother and the calculated results agree better with experimental data for 56 Fe, 63 Cu and 90 Zr target nuclei. However, it can be seen that the double differential cross section increases with the increasing excitation energy [20]. Generally, the theoretical calculations provide a good description of the shapes and magnitude of the double differential cross sections for neutron emission, in agreement with the experimental data.…”

“…The obtained results have been compared with the experimental data existing in the EXFOR [7] data bases. During the preceding years there were some studies of the theoretical cross sections [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] using Talys 1.6 nuclear reaction simulation code.…”
