论文摘要
我们引入了一种工具,以简单有效的方式描述已知核反应代码的结果。它与通常选择特定单个模型并且剩下的忽略的习惯使用不同。简单的统计程序的使用允许以定量不确定性引入更一般的理论评估,该评估是基于内置理论模型的可变性而构建的。我们应用了该技术来研究$^{47} $ SC(具有潜在核医学中潜在使用核医学应用的无线电核),质子束会撞击厚的天然钒靶标。我们发现了一个能量范围,具有$^{47} $ SC的大量产生,以及$^{46} $ SC的最低共同生产,这是一种放射性污染物,必须尽可能避免,因为它的半寿命比$^{47} $ sc(83.79 d vs 3.3492 D)更长。
We have introduced a tool to describe in a simple and efficient way the outcomes of known nuclear reaction codes. It differs from the customary use where typically a specific single model is selected and the remaining disregarded. The use of simple statistical procedures allows to introduce a more general theoretical evaluation with quantitative uncertainty, constructed on the variability of the built-in theoretical models. We apply the technique to study the production of $^{47}$Sc (a radio-nuclide with potential theranostic applications in nuclear medicine) with a proton beam impinging on a thick natural Vanadium target. We find an energy range with significant production of $^{47}$Sc, and a minimum co-production of $^{46}$Sc, the radioactive contaminant that has to be avoided as much as possible because of its much longer half life than $^{47}$Sc (83.79 d vs 3.3492 d).
