TENDL and medical isotope production Arjan Koning Head of Nuclear Data Section, IAEA Informal meeting, IAEA, November 10 2016
The TALYS empire Exact uncertainty propagation Differential and integral library optimization Add uncertainties to a whole new range of quantities General Purpose NDL Most complete in Nuclides (2808) Reaction description Covariance data TENDL Total Monte Carlo TALYS ~1000 users Validation of EXFOR Analysis of experiments Astrophysics Medical isotope production Nuclear model development Etc. etc. Comparison of all data in fast range Quality assignment of experiments At the basis of Bayesian Monte Carlo for nuclear data evaluation
TENDL for photons and charged particles 1. Global TALYS calculations for all nuclides, channels and energies (done) 2. Overruled by: adjusted TALYS calculations when EXFOR data available (to be done) 3. Overruled by: Selection of existing data libraries (to be done) Deuterons Photons Protons ENDF/B (5 nuc) IBANDL IAEA Medical Isotope Monitor reactions IAEA photonuclear lib. (LANL, KAERI, JENDL, ENDF/B, CNDC, BOFOD) 164 nuclides, only selected channels ENDF/B (LA150p) JENDL.HE IBANDL IAEA Medical Isotope Monitor reactions He-3 particles Alpha particles Tritons JENDL-2005A IBANDL IAEA Medical Isotope (4 nuc) Monitor reactions ENDF/B (3 nuc) IAEA Medical Isotope ENDF/B (3 nuc) (2 nuc) Monitor reactions
Comparison with EXFOR ftp://ftp.nrg.eu/www/talys/plots/ Comparison of ALL EXFOR cross sections with all world libraries and TALYS. Three collections of plots: Plots per target nuclide, e.g. a-Cu065.pdf Plots per reaction channel, e.g. n-MT004.pdf (all n,n reactions) All plots for a projectile, e.g. p.pdf Comments on plotting choices, scales etc. welcome!
Possibilities with TENDL All reaction channels are available, good or bad. Optimize the best energy window for a certain projectile + target combination: maximal yield, minimal impurity Optimize the best reaction path, via p, gamma, d, alpha, h, or n channel Software package, ISOTOPIA, calculates all yields, as a function of irradiation time for one projectile, target, energy combination in 0.1 sec. (on the basis of TENDL)
The higher the proton energy: - The higher the yield - The lower the specific activity 13
Tc-98 rapidly dominates beyond 20 MeV What is the acceptable target heat? 14
Future work Simultaneous development: Improve TENDL by TALYS parameter adjustment + adoption of evaluated libraries (IAEA medical) Develop interface for medical isotope production Fill the medical portal with ANY reaction Automatic optimization Graphical interface for projectile, target, energy, accelerator power, etc. Iphone or Android App? Other ideas?
