Simulation of Medical Isotope Yield at an Accelerator-Driven System

We study a possibility of using an accelerator-driven system of the Prometheus proton therapy complex to obtain medical isotopes. The electronuclear setup is simulated using the Geant4 software package. The yield curves of the 99 Mo isotope are calculated, and the results of simulating a number of o...

Description
Summary:We study a possibility of using an accelerator-driven system of the Prometheus proton therapy complex to obtain medical isotopes. The electronuclear setup is simulated using the Geant4 software package. The yield curves of the 99 Mo isotope are calculated, and the results of simulating a number of other isotopes are presented.
