Abstract

A software application useful for optimization and maximizing radionuclide production without exceeding the power limits of the target material or holder has been developed. The software (TYtool) can be used for target optimization including yield calculations vs time, thickness, and incident energy, W/mm through the target, and automated target thickness optimization with the Makkonen-Craig & Helariutta − or the novel Yield/Wapproach. TYtool also facilitates graphical representation of many basic plots such as cross section, mass stopping power, activity output, projected range and it is useful for many different particles, reactions, radionuclides via the default cross section data base or the import function for cross section and mass stopping power. The software is available for free at: https://gitlab.com/NM_Karolinska_Solna/TYtool.

TYtool：带电粒子诱导放射性核素生产中产量和靶功率优化的应用软件

我们开发了一款应用软件，用于优化和最大限度地提高放射性核素产量，同时不超过靶材料或支架的功率极限。该软件（TYtool）可用于靶优化，包括产量计算与时间、厚度和入射能量的关系，通过靶的瓦/毫米，以及使用 Makkonen-Craig & Helariutta - 或新颖的产量/方法自动优化靶厚度。TYtool 还能以图形方式显示许多基本图表，如横截面、质量阻挡功率、活度输出、预测范围等，并通过默认的横截面数据库或横截面和质量阻挡功率的导入功能，适用于许多不同的粒子、反应和放射性核素。该软件可在以下网址免费获取：https://gitlab.com/NM_Karolinska_Solna/TYtool。

期刊介绍： Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
