Generation of proton-and alpha-induced nuclear cross-section data via random forest algorithm: Production of radionuclide111in

We investigated the generation of proton-and alpha-induced nuclear cross-section data in the production of Indium-111 (111 In) for application in nuclear medicine. Here, we are interested in three reaction channels, which are109Ag (α, 2n),111Cd (p, n) and112Cd (p, 2n), in the production of111 In. A...

Summary: We investigated the generation of proton-and alpha-induced nuclear cross-section data in the production of Indium-111 (111 In) for application in nuclear medicine. Here, we are interested in three reaction channels, which are109Ag (α, 2n),111Cd (p, n) and112Cd (p, 2n), in the production of111 In. A random forest algorithm was used to generate nuclear cross-section data by using an experimental nuclear cross-section from the Experimental Nuclear Reaction Data (EXFOR) database as input. Hence, reasonably accurate regression curves of nuclear cross-section data could be produced with the evaluated nuclear data library ENDF/B-VII.0 set as the benchmark. © 2021 by the authors.
