Investigation of Production Reaction Cross Section for¹³⁷Cs Used in Radiotherapy

Abstract

During the production of the radiation source that used in radiotherapy may occur nuclear reactions are very important in terms of human health. 137 Cs is used in radiotherapy that consists of fission the 235 U core. Because of physical half-live of 137 Cs is 30 years, it is advantage for the radioactive half-lives. In this study, radionuclide production reaction cross section for 235 U (n,f) 137 Cs is calculated with TALYS 1.6 nuclear simulation code that based on Monte Carlo.

Theoretical Photoneutron Cross Sections and the Effect of Gamma Strength Functions for W, Ag, Nb

“…The effects of the gamma strength function on the cross section exchange data have determined the most compatible type of model. The results, especially for 107 Ag and 186 W, are in good agreement with the experimental data [25][26][27] from the EXFOR [17] database. The theoretical cross sections of reactions, obtained using the TALYS 1.6 models, clearly demonstrate the GDR effect.…”

“…In some studies, only cross sections of photoneutrons and photoprotons have been investigated [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. At the same time, theoretical cross sections have been calculated with TALYS 1.6 in some other studies [15][16][17].…”

The Theoretical Production of In Isotopes by Insertion of Alpha Particles into Cd Nucleus

“…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.…”

Detailed Analysis of Differential Cross Sections of Elastic Scattering for n+208Pb Reaction

“…In addition to the existing experimental studies, theoretical differential cross sections are studied for different target nuclei, depending on the energetics [13][14][15][16][17]. At the same time, theoretical cross sections have been calculated with TALYS 1.6 nuclear reaction simulation code in some studies [18][19][20][21][22][23].…”
