Level density models have an undeniable importance for a better perception on the nature of nuclear reactions, which influences our life via various ways. Many novel and advanced medical application use radioisotopes, which are produced with nuclear reactions. By considering the connection between the level density models and the importance of theoretical calculations for the production routes of medically important isotopes, this study is performed to investigate the level density model effects on the production cross-section calculations of [Formula: see text]Zn, [Formula: see text]Ga, [Formula: see text]Kr, [Formula: see text]Pd, [Formula: see text]In, [Formula: see text]I and [Formula: see text]At radioisotopes via some alpha particle induced and neutron emitting reactions. For theoretical calculations; frequently used computation tools, such as TALYS and EMPIRE codes, are applied. Obtained theoretical results are then compared with the experimental data, taken from Experimental Nuclear Reaction Data (EXFOR) library. For a better interpretation of the results, a mean weighted deviation calculation for each investigated reaction is performed in addition to a visual comparison of the graphical representations of the outcomes.

Most of the radioisotopes used in the medical fields, like examination and treatment studies, were produced by employing nuclear reactions. Within the process of a nuclear reaction, one of the most important parameters is the cross-section data, which help reveal the reaction phenomenon's mechanisms. The main intention of this study is to investigate the efficiencies of producing iodine isotopes via 123Sb(α,xn) reactions. For this, optical and level density models of TALYS 1.8 code have been used. Production cross-section, the alpha beam energy, reaction yields, and total activation of radioisotopes have been computed. It has been figured out that a 45 MeV cyclotron could be enough for producing 123-126I radioisotopes with reaction yields of 39.3372, 5.5685, 0.2410, and 0.0796 GBq/mAh, respectively.

The utilization of radioisotopes has been increasing proportionally with the scientific and industrial developments. Among many known and used examples of them, 62Cu has a wide usage due to its suitability for many specific requirements such as in medical applications. By considering the importance of radioisotopes and especially 62Cu, in this study, the theoretical calculations of cross–section values for 62Cu via 59Co(α,n)62Cu, 61Ni(d,n)62Cu, 62Ni(d,2n)62Cu and 62Ni(p,n)62Cu reactions were carried out by employing three phenomenological level density models via TALYS 1.9 code. Obtained results were compared with the available experimental data from Experimental Nuclear Reaction Data (EXFOR) Library by graphically and mathematically.

[Formula: see text], a known gamma emitter, is used for many medical purposes such as imaging of myocardial metastases. It can be produced by using different nuclear reactions. In this study, the reactions of [Formula: see text]Ag([Formula: see text]2n)[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text](p,[Formula: see text]n)[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text](p,[Formula: see text]2n)[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text](p,[Formula: see text]3n)[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text](p,[Formula: see text]4n)[Formula: see text], which are the production routes of [Formula: see text], were investigated. Production cross-section calculations were performed by using equilibrium and pre-equilibrium models of TALYS 1.95 and EMPIRE 3.2 nuclear reaction codes. Hauser–Feshbach Model was appointed in both codes for calculations of equilibrium approximations. Exciton and Hybrid Monte Carlo Simulation (HMS) models were used in the EMPIRE 3.2, whereas Two-Component Exciton and Geometry Dependent Hybrid Model, which is implemented to TALYS code, has been used in the TALYS 1.95 for pre-equilibrium reactions. Also, a weighting matrix of the nuclear models was obtained by using statistical variance analysis. The optimum beam energy to obtain [Formula: see text] has been determined by using the results obtained from this weighting matrix.

Theoretical Results

For detailed explanation of the experimental results of lepton production cross section in hadronic collisions such as nucleon-nucleon or nucleon-nuclei, it is of great importance to use quarks and sea quarks distribution function inside free and bound nucleons. In this paper, the role of pion cloud inside the nucleus in the structure function of Cu and Pt nuclei and the EMC ratio of these nuclei were investigated by using harmonic oscillator model. Then, in the framework of the Drell-Yan process and conventional nuclear theory, GRV’s quarks distribution functions and pionic quarks distribution functions were used to calculate lepton and antilepton production cross section in p-Cu and p-Pt scattering. From the results and based on the mentioned model, by considering pionic contribution, the theoretical results are improved.

Abstract Excitation functions were measured by the activation method using the stacked-foil technique for the natMo(p,x)93(m+g),94m,g,95m,g,96(m+g),99mTc, 92m,95Nb reactions up to 18 MeV. The experimental results were compared with literature data and theoretical results from EMPIRE-3.2.2 code and TENDL. Special attention was paid to the 100Mo(p,2n)99mTc reaction which is very promising for the production of 99mTc at a cyclotron. In order to optimize the production conditions of some medically important Tc isotopes, the integral yields were estimated based on the measured cross sections.

Abstract Oxygen and magnesium isotopes can be used in nuclear reactor materials as cooling, shielding, coating, electronics etc. They can also occur through nuclear reactions during the reactor operation. The exposure of high energy gamma can change the material and its properties, and hence its objective of selection may not remain satisfied. Thus, it is required to study the cross section of different reactions on nuclear reactor materials to understand their sustainability for the properties, for which they are chosen. In the scope of this study, theoretically, different level density model calculations and γ-ray strength functions have been performed for (γ, p) reaction for 16,18O and 24,26Mg nuclei using TALYS 1.9 and EMPI˙RE 3.2.2 codes. Also, semi empirical (γ, p) formula by Tel et al., have been calculated and compared with all results. The effect of different level density models defined in these codes on gamma strength has been studied. Finally, the consistency of these obtained data with EXFOR data have been investigated.
