In this note we consider the cross section for a nuclear reaction in which one of the product nuclei is unstable, with two or more levels contributing to its decay. Previously a formula had been derived from R-matrix theory for the case where contributions come from only a single level of the nucleus with a given spin and parity.

In the present work, the cross sections of the 9Be(d,p0)10Be, 9Be(d,p1)10Be,9Be(d,α0)7Li and 9Be(d,α1)7Li in the deuteron energy range Elab= 1 – 2.2 MeV with an energy step of 20 keV and at detection angles between 120o and 170o were measured, suitable for nuclear reaction analysis. A Si3N4film coated with a thin Be layer was used and the cross sections are determined relatively to the cross section of the natSi(d,d)natSi elastic scattering. Additionally, proton and oxygen beam measurements were carried out in order to determine the atomic areal density which is required to determine the cross sections.

The cross-section of the [Formula: see text] reaction was measured with [Formula: see text] neutrons using a natural cadmium target [Formula: see text]. The neutron fluence and mean neutron energy of the source were determined using the ISO 8529-1 neutron spectrum and the known cross-sections of the monitor reaction [Formula: see text]. In order to measure the poor [Formula: see text]-ray activity of the reaction products, an HPGe detector with 70% detection efficiency surrounded by an adequate graded shield was applied. The efficiency calculations for the detector were performed using standard point calibration sources and the EFFTRAN efficiency code. Using the measured values of the neutron flux and the induced [Formula: see text]-ray activity of [Formula: see text], the cross-section of the [Formula: see text] reaction at the average neutron energy of 4.05 MeV was found to be [Formula: see text] mb. An estimation of the contribution to the total cross-section by the accompanied reactions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] was achieved and the related cross-sections were found to be 0.16 mb and 8.99 mb, respectively.

AbstractIn view of several significant discrepancies in the excitation function of the 86Sr(p,n)86g+xmY reaction which is the method of choice for the production of the non-standard positron emitter 86Y for theranostic application, we carried out a careful measurement of the cross sections of this reaction from its threshold up to 16.2 MeV at Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) and from 14.3 to 24.5 MeV at LBNL. Thin samples of 96.4% enriched 86SrCO3 were prepared by sedimentation and, after irradiation with protons in a stacked-form, the induced radioactivity was measured by high-resolution γ-ray spectrometry. The projectile flux was determined by using the monitor reactions natCu(p,xn)62,63,65Zn and natTi(p,x)48V, and the calculated proton energy for each sample was verified by considering the ratios of two reaction products of different thresholds. The experimental cross section data obtained agreed well with the results of a nuclear model calculation based on the code TALYS. From the cross section data, the integral yield of 86Y was calculated. Over the optimum production energy range Ep = 14 → 7 MeV the yield of 86Y amounts to 291 MBq/μA for 1 h irradiation time. This value is appreciably lower than the previous literature values calculated from measured and evaluated excitation functions. It is, however, more compatible with the experimental yields of 86Y obtained in clinical scale production runs. The levels of the isotopic impurities 87mY, 87gY, and 88Y were also estimated and found to be <2% in sum.

AbstractTheoretical studies via nuclear reaction models have an undeniable importance and impact in terms of better understanding of reaction processes and their nature. In this study, by considering the importance of these models and the medical radionuclides, the effects of six level density models and eight alpha optical model potentials on the cross-section calculations for the production of the radionuclides 62Cu, 67Ga, 86Y and 89Zr via 59Co(α,n)62Cu, 60Ni(α,np)62Cu, 65Cu(α,2n)67Ga, 64Zn(α,p)67Ga, 85Rb(α,3n)86Y, 86Sr(α,n)89Zr, 87Sr(α,2n)89Zr and 88Sr(α,3n)89Zr reactions were investigated. Calculations for each reaction route were performed by using the TALYS v1.9 code. The most consistent model with the literature data taken from the Experimental Nuclear Reaction Database (EXFOR), was identified by using the reduced chi-squared statistics in addition to an eyeball estimation. Also, the effects of combinational use of selected models and potentials were investigated by comparing the calculational results with the experimental data.

Previously we reported that tannic acid is a very effective fixative for proteins including polypeptides. Especially, in the cross section of microtubules, thirteen submits in A-tubule and eleven in B-tubule could be observed very clearly. An elastic fiber could be demonstrated very clearly, as an electron opaque, homogeneous fiber. However, tannic acid did not penetrate into the deep portion of the tissue-block. So we tried Catechin. This shows almost the same chemical natures as that of proteins, as tannic acid. Moreover, we thought that catechin should have two active-reaction sites, one is phenol,and the other is catechole. Catechole site should react with osmium, to make Os- black. Phenol-site should react with peroxidase existing perhydroxide.
