Gamma Emitter

[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

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.

Total Activation

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.

Abstract We present the production cross section for a lepton-neutrino pair at the Large Hadron Collider computed at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) in QCD perturbation theory. We compute the partonic coefficient functions of a virtual W± boson at this order. We then use these analytic functions to study the progression of the perturbative series in different observables. In particular, we investigate the impact of the newly obtained corrections on the inclusive production cross section of W± bosons, as well as on the ratios of the production cross sections for W+, W− and/or a virtual photon. Finally, we present N3LO predictions for the charge asymmetry at the LHC.
