Abstract

51Cr (T1/2 = 27.7 d), which decays via electron capture (100 %) with 320 keV gamma emission (9.8 %), is a radionuclide with still a large application in biological studies. In this work, ALICE/ASH and TALYS nuclear model codes along with some adjustments are used to calculate the excitation functions for proton, deuteron, α-particle and neutron induced on various targets leading to the production of 51Cr radioisotope. The production yields of 51Cr from various reactions are determined using the excitation function calculations and stopping power data. The results are compared with corresponding experimental data and discussed from point of view of feasibility.

Kurzfassung

51Cr (T1/2 = 27.7 d), das durch Elektroneneinfang zerfällt (100 %) unter Emission von 320 keV Gammastrahlung (9.8 %), ist ein in biologischen Studien weithin verwendetes Radionuklid. In diesem Beitrag wurden ALICE/ASH und TALYS Kernmodell-Codes zusammen mit einigen Anpassungen zur Berechnung der Anregungsfunktionen für Protonen, Deuteronen, α-Teilchen und Neutronen verwendet, die zur Produktion von 51Cr-Isotopen führen. Die Produktionsausbeute von 51Cr durch verschiedene Kernreaktionen wurde durch Berechnung der Anregungsfunktionen und mit Hilfe von Daten zum Bremsvermögen bestimmt. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit entsprechenden experimentellen Daten verglichen.
