Abstract
Statistical model calculations were carried out in order to produce medicinally and technologically important radionuclides like Ga and 65Zn by means of alpha induced reaction on natural Copper using TALYS code (version 1.96). Theoretical results were compared with the experimental data taken from EXFOR library and TENDL 2023 data. The best combination of level density model and alpha optical model potential out of 48 possible combinations have been investigated for each of the reactions utilizing the mean-weighted deviation analysis. A statistical procedure supported by nuclear model calculations using the TALYS code was employed to derive recommended excitation function together with 95% confidence limits.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
