| Title | Search for New Isotope Production Pathways | ||||
| Abstract | The isotope group at Jefferson Lab is carrying out R&D for producing medically interesting radioisotopes, especially those with theranostic (therapeutic and diagnostic) attributes. Here the search for viable production mechanisms has been expanded to multi-step reactions where a daughter is produced from the target and decays into a medically interesting granddaughter radioisotope. It is difficult to find efficient production routes when investigating both the initial excitation reaction as well as the decay routes leading to medically interesting isotopes. The overall goal of this project is to create a structured code in Python to find these decay routes by automatically exploring the large number of isotopes and their possible decay modes. The code is designed to provide a list of possible reaction routes using gamma rays as the initial excitation, but can be expanded for other types of beams as well. The program structure is described, and preliminary results are presented. | ||||
