Prediction on total inventory of radioisotopes produced by the interaction of 20Ne beams on 181Ta (110-170 MeV)
Abstract
This study aims to model the evaporation residues produced by the interaction of 108-170 MeV of 20Ne with the 181Ta target using Monte-Carlo PACE4 simulation code. Reaction mechanisms taking place in these interactions along with production cross sections have been discussed. Possibility of the production of clinically important exotic neutron deficient radioisotopes from these interactions have been assessed, but the result is not encouraging for production of radioisotopes useful in nuclear medicine.
