Abstract
Re-evaluation of recommended cross sections for seven production reactions for the short-lived β+-emitting radionuclide ⁶1Cu included in the on-line IAEA database for medical applications (Monitor Reactions and Positron Emitters) was performed. One of those reactions is recommended as a deuteron beam monitor reaction: natNi(d,x)61Cu. The re-evaluation included recently published data as well as thoroughly analyzed earlier works available in EXFOR. Where possible, published cross sections were corrected for new nuclear decay data, especially γ-ray abundance or β+ intensity adopted in NUDAT3.0/ENSDF2020. New recommended cross section values and their uncertainties were derived from the Padé fit of the selected data. Relevant data were subjected to correction based on the recently measured ratio of the two dominant γ-rays of ⁶1Cu by Bleuel; an additional Padé fit was performed. Changes up to 20 % of the recommended monitor reaction for deuterons are observed in the 7–10 MeV of incident deuteron energy. Comparison with results of the on-line available TALYS-code calculations is provided and discussed.
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.
