IAEA coordinated research project on nuclear data for charged-particle monitor reactions and medical isotope production

An IAEA coordinated research project was launched in December 2012 to establish and improve the nuclear data required to characterise charged-particle monitor reactions and extend data for medical radionuclide production. An international team was assembled to undertake work addressing the requirements for more accurate cross-section data over a wide range of targets and projectiles, undertaken in conjunction with a limited number of measurements and more extensive evaluations of the decay data of specific radionuclides. These studies are nearing completion, and are briefly described below.Work at ANL is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357

New cross sections for the 27Al(p,x)7Be nuclear process: Monitoring proton beam energy via the 22Na/7Be cross-section ratio between 45 and 200 MeV

Cross sections are presented for 7Be produced in the proton bombardment of natural Al up to 200 MeV and compared with previous literature data. Cross-section ratios for the 27Al(p,x)22Na and 27Al(p,x)7Be nuclear processes are also presented in the energy region 45−200 MeV, exploiting our previously reported cross sections for the 27Al(p,x)22Na process. The applicability for energy monitoring of proton beams by exploiting the 22Na/7Be cross-section ratio is discussed. Monte Carlo simulations in a simplified geometry provide additional information on activation of an Al monitor foil by secondary neutrons, indicating greater sensitivity to these neutrons by 24Na as a beam monitor than 22Na and 7Be
