Abstract

^{60,61,62,64,67}Cu radyoizotopları,
nükleer tıpta tanı veya terapi amaçlı olarak çeşitli uygulamalar için kullanılır.
Bu radyoizotopların geniş yarı ömür spektrumu çeşitli radyofarmasötiklerin
tasarımını ve sentezini sağlamaktadır. Kullanılabilirlik ve üretim maliyeti
nedeniyle, bakır radyofarmasötiklerindeki araştırma çabaları, esas olarak, bu
süreçte tasarlanan üretkenliğin olasılığını gösteren reaksiyon kesitlerinin
hesaplanmasına odaklanmıştır. Bu çalışmada bakır radyoizotopların uyarma
fonksiyonları, 50 MeV’e kadar parçacık gelme enerjisinde TALYS nükleer
reaksiyon kodu kullanılarak reaksiyon tesir kesitlerinin teorik olarak
hesaplanması ile araştırılmıştır.

Investigation of Excitation Functions of Copper Radioisotopes Used in Nuclear Medicine with TALYS Code

Abstract

^{60,61,62,64,67}Cu radioisotopes of copper are used for various applications in diagnostic
or therapeutic nuclear medicine. These radioisotopes’ wide range of half-lives
enable designing and synthesizing of various radiopharmaceuticals. Because of availability and cost of
production, the research efforts in copper radiopharmaceuticals are focused on the
calculations of reaction cross sections showing the possibility of the
productivity in this process. In this paper, excitation functions of copper
radioisotopes have been investigated through the theoretical calculation of
reaction cross sections by using TALYS nuclear reaction code in the incident
particle energy up to 50 MeV.    

Keywords

Copper radioisotopes, Excitation functions, Reaction cross sections, TALYS code
