Abstract
Measurement and evaluation of nuclear data of radioisotopes used as tracers are continuously underway in many laboratories to reach high accuracy for their use in production. We briefly mention some of the radionuclides useful for medical diagnostics and other industrial applications. The research group at the Egyptian cyclotron facility (EGCF) performed in collaboration with nuclear research centres and universities in many countries (Germany, Hungary, Finland, USA, Japan and Saudi Arabia) some measurements and evaluations of interesting nuclear reaction data. Nuclear reactions induced by p, d and α-particles on a wide variety of targets were extensively studied from threshold energy up to 50 MeV. Nuclear model code calculations, mainly using EMPIRE and TALYS, were performed for nuclear data validation. Proton and neutron activation of some industrially interesting samples were also studied as technological application of nuclear analytical techniques. Since the cyclotron facility is dedicated to development of the production routes of medical radioisotopes, this overview presents examples of optimization experiments to establish good production conditions.
Acknowledgements
The research cooperation with the Research Center Jülich has been exceptionally successful. About 10 Egyptian researchers got specialized training there, five of whom completed partly or fully their doctoral dissertations under the guidance of Prof. S.M. Qaim. They are listed in references [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]. The research results were described in more than 10 full length papers in international journals, some of them are listed here [24, 26, 55]. Our group also has maintained a good cooperation with the Institute for Nuclear Research, Hungarian Academy of Science, Debrecen, Hungary (ATOMKI). Many papers have been published with them and two PhD theses have been approved through a bilateral supervision with Dr. Ferenc Ditrói. We take the opportunity of thanking all the organizations and individuals associated with this programme. The cyclotron Facility was initiated by Prof. Dr. M.N.H. Comsan and the subsequent programme co-ordinators were: Prof. Dr. A. Azzam (2001–2003), Prof. Dr. Shokry M. Saad (2003–2006), Prof. Dr. U.M. Seddik (2006–2014) and Prof. Dr. Mogahed Al-Abyad (2014 to date). Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Syed M. Qaim, has been a constant strong proponent of the bilateral Egyptian/German cooperation.
