Neutron yield from a thick target irradiated by 90MeV protons
2005
In the context or the design of an intense source of low and intermediate energy, neutrons, the angular and energy distributions of neutrons produced in the interaction of 90 MeV protons in a C-12 target, in which the protons are stopped, have been measured by time-of-flight and activation techniques, As compared to C-12 the yield is less than a factor two higher, while it is somewhat less than for a Be-9 target.

Neutron yields from a thick 13C target irradiated by 30 MeV protons
2002
Abstract Total neutron yields resulting from the proton bombardment of a thick 13 C target have been measured for 30 MeV protons. Absolute intensities, angular distributions and energy spectra of neutrons have been obtained by the time-of-flight technique where the detectors provided continuous coverage from 0° to 120°. Resonances have been found, some of which can be attributed to known states in 14 N. A total yield of 0.022(3) n/p was observed with a slight angular anisotropy towards forward angles. The measured yields are compared to the neutron yields produced by using deuterons on thick 12 C and 9 Be targets.
Production of neutron-rich nuclei in fission induced by neutrons generated by the p + 13C reaction at 55 MeV
2003
Cross-sections for the production of neutron-rich nuclei obtained by neutron-induced fission of natural uranium have been measured. The neutrons were generated by bombarding a 13C target with 55 MeV protons. The results, position of the maximum in the (Z, A)-plane, width and magnitude, are very comparable with those where the neutrons are generated by bombardment of natural 12C graphite with 50 MeV deuterons. Depending on the geometry of the converter/target assembly the isotope yields, however, are a factor of 2-3 lower due to less efficient production of neutrons per primary projectile, especially at small forward angles.
A New Preclinical Decision Support System Based on PET Radiomics: A Preliminary Study on the Evaluation of an Innovative 64Cu-Labeled Chelator in Mou…
2022
The 64Cu-labeled chelator was analyzed in vivo by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to evaluate its biodistribution in a murine model at different acquisition times. For this purpose, nine 6-week-old female Balb/C nude strain mice underwent micro-PET imaging at three different time points after 64Cu-labeled chelator injection. Specifically, the mice were divided into group 1 (acquisition 1 h after [64Cu] chelator administration, n = 3 mice), group 2 (acquisition 4 h after [64Cu]chelator administration, n = 3 mice), and group 3 (acquisition 24 h after [64Cu] chelator administration, n = 3 mice). Successively, all PET studies were segmented by means of registration with a standard te…
