Abstract

The Yb176(n,γ)Yb177→Lu177 reaction is of interest in nuclear medicine as it is the preferred production route for Lu177. This radioisotope has seen a very fast growth of usage in nuclear medicine in recent years due to its outstanding properties. New data on this reaction could provide useful information for production at new facilities. We aim to resolve resonances in the Yb176(n,γ)Yb177 reaction for the first time. Previous capture measurement provided data at thermal point and encompassed integral measurements in the range from 3 keV to 1 MeV, where three time-of-flight measurements are available, but with low resolution to resolve the resonances. Transmission measurements from the 1970s resolved and analyzed some resonances. We measure the neutron capture cross section of Yb176(n,γ)Yb177 by means of the time-of-flight technique at the Experimental Area 1 of the n_TOF facility at CERN using an enriched Yb1762O3 sample and an array of four C6D6 liquid scintillation detectors. We have resolved 164 resonances up to 21 keV, including 96 new ones. We also provide new capture experimental data from 90 eV to 3 keV, and we extend the resolved resonance region up to 21 keV. In addition, resonance decay widths, Γγ and Γn, are provided for all resonances together with resonance energies. The Yb176(n,γ)Yb177 reaction has been measured, providing resonance parameters for the first time from a few eV to 21 keV. The analysis of the resonances has been carried out and compared with previous works and existing libraries, revealing discrepancies due to the new information on Γγ parameters. Our results are consistent with the Γn parameters obtained in transmission measurements. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

欧洲核子研究中心n_TOF装置上Yb176（n,γ）截面的测量

Yb176(n,γ)Yb177→Lu177反应是核医学研究的热点，因为它是Lu177的首选生产途径。这种放射性同位素由于其优异的性能，近年来在核医学中的应用增长非常快。有关这种反应的新数据可以为新设施的生产提供有用的信息。我们的目标是首次解析Yb176(n,γ)Yb177反应中的共振。先前的捕获测量提供了热点数据，包括3 keV到1 MeV范围内的积分测量，其中三个飞行时间测量是可用的，但分辨率较低，无法解析共振。20世纪70年代的传输测量解决并分析了一些共振。在欧洲核子研究中心n_TOF设施的1实验区，利用Yb1762O3富集样品和4个C6D6液体闪烁探测器阵列，利用飞行时间技术测量了Yb176(n,γ)Yb177的中子俘获截面。我们已经解决了高达21 keV的164个共振，包括96个新共振。我们还提供了从90 eV到3 keV的新的捕获实验数据，并将可分辨共振区域扩展到21 keV。此外，还提供了所有共振的共振衰减宽度Γγ和Γn以及共振能量。对Yb176(n,γ)Yb177反应进行了测量，首次提供了从几eV到21 keV的共振参数。对共振进行了分析，并与以前的作品和现有的库进行了比较，揭示了由于Γγ参数的新信息而产生的差异。我们的结果与透射测量中得到的Γn参数一致。2024年由美国物理学会出版
