Calculation of productions of medical Pb-201, Au-198, Re-186, Ag-111, (103)pd, Y-90, Sr-89, Kr-77, Cu-77, Cu-67, Cu-64, Sc-47 and P-32 nuclei used in cancer therapy via phenomenological and microscopic level density models

WOS: 000457819000010PubMed: 30530248In the present study, we have widely investigated the production of nuclei used in cancer therapy for both phenomenological and microscopic level density models via TALYS and EMPIRE codes. To estimate the production of the radioisotope, we calculated the cross-section curves of the reaction and the integral yield curves for nine level density models using the cross-sections and the mass-stopping powers acquired from X-PMSP program in the particle beam current of 1 mu A and irradiation time 1 h. To discuss the obtained results on the basis of the cross-sections and the integral yields curves, the results were compared with the experimental data and the recommended data in the literature
