Abstract

It is well recognized that the outcomes of investigations conducted in the field of basic sciences, as well as the achievements gained over the period of these studies, mediate effective and useful outcomes not only for basic sciences, but also for many other fields as diverse from engineering to medicine. In this regard, theoretical researches on the production routes of various radioisotopes that could be implemented in a numerous of fields ensure that physics and other associated areas interact on a common ground. Taking this fact into account as the motivation, the goal of this study is set to investigate how various deuteron and alpha optical models impact the cross–section calculations of 22,24Na radioisotopes, which are known to be utilized in medical applications. The TALYS (v1.95) code was utilized in the calculations, which allows for the use of five different deuteron and eight different alpha optical model alternatives. The obtained results were not only visually compared to the existing experimental data in the literature, but also quantitatively by performing mean weighted deviation and relative variance analyses.

Bazı (d,x) ve (α,x) Reaksiyonlarıyla 22,24Na Radyoizotoplarının Üretim Tesir Kesiti Hesaplamalarına Optik Modellerin Etkilerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Temel bilimler alanında yürütülen araştırmaların sonuçlarının ve bu çalışmalarda elde edilen kazanımların sadece temel bilimler için değil, aynı zamanda tıptan mühendisliğe kadar çeşitli alanlarda da etkili ve faydalı sonuçlara aracılık ettiği iyi bilinmektedir. Bu bağlamda, birçok alanda uygulanabilecek çeşitli radyoizotopların üretim yollarının teorik olarak araştırılması, fizik ve diğer ilgili alanların ortak bir paydada etkileşimini sağlamaktadır. Motivasyon olarak bu gerçeği göz önünde bulundurarak bu çalışmanın amacı, çeşitli döteron ve alfa optik modellerin tıbbi uygulamalarda kullanıldığı bilinen 22,24Na radyoizotoplarının tesir kesiti hesaplamalarını nasıl etkilediğini araştırmak olarak belirlenmiştir. Hesaplamalarda beş farklı döteron ve sekiz farklı alfa optik model alternatifinin kullanımına olanak sağlayan TALYS (v1.95) kodu kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar literatürdeki mevcut deneysel verilerle sadece görsel olarak değil, ortalama ağırlıklı sapma ve bağıl varyans analizleri yapılarak nicel olarak da karşılaştırılmıştır.
