Nuclear model prediction of cross-section for < sup > 125 - 119 < /sup > I radionuclides produced in proton + < sup > 125 < /sup > Te reaction at ≈ 5-100 MeV

Appl Radiat Isot. 2022 Jun 28;188:110351. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2022.110351. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe theoretical model codes ALICE/ASH and TALYS-1.95(G) were used to make theoretical predictions of the production cross-sections of 125I, 124I, 123I, 122I, 121I, 120I, and 119I radionuclides produced in the interaction of proton-projectile with 125Te-target at energies ≈ 5-100 MeV. The results were compared with the measured values in the literature and with TENDL-2019 evaluated data. The Pearson's correlation coefficient indicates a strong and positive correlation between the predicted and the previously measured production cross-sections for medically important 125I, 124I, 123I, and 122I radionuclides. Further, the results show that the TALYS-1.95(G) code predicts more successful outcomes than the ALICE/ASH code for 125I, 124I, 123I, and 122I radionuclides production, which have widespread medical applications, particularly for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.PMID:35803178 | DOI:10.1016/j.apradiso.2022.110351
