Abstract

The feature of the radioisotopes used in the progress of diagnostic development studies using nuclear imaging agents plays an effective role in image quality. In our study, reaction cross section calculation of (n,p) and (γ, p) were done for zirconium isotopes used as imaging tracers that interact with gamma and neutron of by using empirical and semi empirical formulae. Some cross section formulae were used in the calculations for zirconium isotopes that interact with gamma and neutron. Also, TALYS 1.6 code used for (n, p) and (γ, p) reaction cross section calculations. The calculation results were compared with the experimental EXFOR data in the literature.

Abstract

Nükleer görüntüleme ajanlarını kullanarak tanı geliştirme çalışmalarının ilerlemesinde kullanılan radyoizotopların özelliği görüntü kalitesinde etkin bir rol oynamaktadır. çalışmamızda ampirik ve yarı ampirik formüller kullanılarak gama ve nötron ile etkileşime giren görüntüleme izleyicileri olarak kullanılan zirkonyum izotopları için (n, p) ve (γ, p) reaksiyon tesir kesiti hesaplamaları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca, TALYS 1.6 kodu ile (n, p) ve (γ, p) reaksiyon tesir kesitleri hesaplanmıştır. Hesaplama sonuçları literatürdeki deneysel EXFOR verileri ile karşılaştırıldı.
