Evaluation of production cross-sections for 61Cu non-standard PET radionuclide via light-ion-induced nuclear reactions on Co, Ni, Zn targets

The helium (4He) component of the primary particles in the galactic cosmic ray spectrum makes significant contributions to the total astronaut radiation exposure. 4He ions are also desirable for direct applications in ion therapy. They contribute smaller projectile fragmentation than carbon (12C) ions and smaller lateral beam spreading than protons. Space radiation protection and ion therapy applications need reliable nuclear reaction models and transport codes for energetic particles in matter. Neutrons and light ions (1H, 2H, 3H, 3He, and 4He) are the most important secondary particles produced in space radiation and ion therapy nuclear reactions; these particles penetrate deeply and make large contributions to dose equivalent. Since neutrons and light ions may scatter at large angles, double differential cross sections are required by transport codes that propagate radiation fields through radiation shielding and human tissue. This work will review the importance of 4He projectiles to space radiation and ion therapy, and outline the present status of neutron and light ion production cross section measurements and modeling, with recommendations for future needs.

The availability of new radioactive ion beams has broadened the study of nuclear reactions and nuclear structure. The main mechanism to produce the secondary beams is the fragmentation of the projectile. An alternative method for the production of the exotic nuclei is the multinucleon transfer. We measured production cross section for the B, C, N and O isotopes in the reaction 18O + Ta and the beam energy at 10 MeV/nucleon. The cross-sections were obtained by integrating the momentum distributions of the isotopes. It was shown that in deep inelastic processes the production yields of different isotopes could be well described using statistical models and could also be explained by the Qgg-systematic.

The double-differentialπ±production cross sections in interactions of charged pions on targets at high momentums are analyzed by using a multicomponent Erlang distribution which is obtained in the framework of a multisource thermal model. The calculated results are compared and found to be in agreement with the experimental data at the incident momentums of 3, 5, 8, and 12 GeV/c measured by the HARP Collaboration. It is found that the source contributions to the mean momentum of charged particles and to the distribution width of particle momentums decrease with increase of the emission angle, and the source number and temperature do not show an obvious dependence on the emission angle of the considered particle.

Neutron Rich Isotopes

The production cross sections of projectile-like fragments from collisions of 86Kr projectiles with 64,58Ni and 124,112Sn targets at 15 and 25 MeV/nucleon are studied systematically with emphasis on the neutron-rich isotopes. Our recent experimental data are compared with calculations for the above collisions employing a hybrid approach. The dynamical stage of the projectile-target interaction was described with either the phenomenological deep-inelastic transfer (DIT) model or with the the microscopic constrained molecular dynamics model (CoMD). Subsequently, for the de-excitation of the projectile-like fragments, the statistical multifragmentation model (SMM) or the binary-decay code GEMINI were employed. An overall good agreement with the experimental results was obtained. We point out that our current understanding of the reaction mechanism at beam energies below the Fermi energy suggests that such nuclear reactions, involving peripheral nucleon exchange, can be exploited as a novel route to access extremely neutron-rich rare isotopes toward the r-process path and the hard-to-reach neutron drip-line. For this purpose, we believe that the use of re-accelerated neutron-rich radioactive beams may offer unique and exciting opportunities toward unexplored regions of the nuclear landscape.
