Abstract

In this study, the nuclear energy level density based on nuclear collective excitation mechanism has been identified in terms of low-lying collective level bands near the neutron binding energy. Nuclear level density parameters of some large deformed nuclei of radionuclides widely used in medical applications have been calculated by using different collective excitation modes of observed nuclear spectra. The calculated parameters have been used successfully in estimation of the neutron-capture cross section basic data for the production of new medical radionuclides. The investigated radionuclides have been considered in the region of mass number 150 < A < 200. The method used in the present work assumes equidistance spacing of the collective coupled state bands of the interest radionuclides. The calculated results have been compared with the compiled values from the literatures for s-wave neutron resonance data.

Kurzfassung

In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurde die Dichte der Energieniveaus in Kernen auf der Grundlage kollektiver Kernanregungsmechanismen bestimmt in Form von tiefliegenden Energiebänder nahe der Neutronenbindungsenergie. Kernniveaudichteparameter einiger stark deformierter Kerne von häufig in der Medizin verwendeten Radionukliden wurden berechnet mit Hilfe verschiedener kollektiver Anregungsarten beobachteter Kernspektren. Die berechneten Parameter wurden erfolgreich angewendet bei der Abschätzung der Grunddaten der Wirkungsquerschnitte für Neutroneneinfang zur Produktion neuer medizinsicher Radionuklide. Betrachtet wurden Radionuklide im Bereich der Massenzahlen 150 < A < 200. Die in der vorliegenden Arbeit verwendete Methode setzt äquidistante Abstände der kollektiven gekoppelten Zustandsbänder der interessierenden Radionuklide voraus. Die Rechenergebnisse wurden verglichen mit den aus der Literatur zusammengestellten Werten für s-Wellen Neutronenresonanzdaten.
