Integral cross section measurement of the 19F( γ, n)18F reaction for 12-20 MeV bremsstrahlung photons
18F radioactive isotope is widely used in PET imaging for nuclear medicine. Medical linear accelerators producing high-flux bremsstrahlung beams up to 20 MeV are commonly used in radiation therapy. Hence, the production of 18F through photon-induced channels will reduce many of the intricacies in transportation and handling. With this objective, the integral cross sections for 19F(, n)18F reaction, for bremsstrahlung endpoint energies of 12, 14.6, and 20 MeV, are measured employing the activation technique. The experimentally measured cross section was analysed using the nuclear reaction code TALYS 1.96. Parameters for level density models and gamma strength function models are optimized within the framework of a statistical approach.
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.
