Description
In this study, the cross-sections of natNd(p,x) reactions were determined up to 100 MeV using off-line γ-ray spectrometry and a stacked-foil activation technique. The irradiation was carried out at the Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC) with 100 MeV proton beams, and Al and Cu foils were utilized to monitor the beam flux. The induced radioactivity of each irradiated sample was measured using a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The resulting cross-sections were then compared with available literature data and the TENDL-2023 library. Some of the produced isotopes have the potential to be utilized as positron-emitting (PET) imaging or therapeutic radioisotopes, enabling applications in radiation medicine that encompass both diagnosis and therapy. Further details will be presented.
