Natural Cu target was irradiated with proton beam in the energy range of 15 to 30 MeV at a beam current of 100 μA for 15 min. In this irradiation radioisotope of 62Zn was produced as a generator and then decayed to Cu radioisotope. The Cu is emitting β+ and known as PET radioisotope. Excitation function of Cu via Cu (p, 2n) Zn, Cu and Cu (d, 3n) Zn reactions were calculated using Alice and Taly...

Heavy charged particles interact with matter predominantly through inelastic collisions with atomic electrons. Slower particles give more energy to the electrons in comparison with faster particles; therefore, the delivered dose increases while the particle energy decreases. The point at which the particles deposit most of their energy is called the Bragg peak. The presence of a Bragg peak make...

Introduction: We present noble gas data from the metallic glass (BMG) [1] flown on Genesis [2]. This target sampled the bulk solar wind (SW) at all velocities during the entire 887 days collection period of Genesis. The main motivation for selecting the BMG has been to look for the putative solar energetic particle (SEP) component reported to be present in lunar and asteroidal regolith samples ...

The detection of low energy neutrinos (< few tens of MeV) via coherent nuclear scattering remains a holy grail of sorts in neutrino physics. This uncontroversial mode of interaction is expected to profit from a sizeable increase in cross section proportional to neutron number squared in the target nucleus, an advantageous feature in view of the small probability of interaction via all other cha...
