Description
Summary:Several international agencies recommend the study of new routes and new facilities for producing radioisotopes with application to nuclear medicine. 177 Lu is a versatile radioisotope used for therapy and diagnosis (theranostics) of cancer with good success in neuroendocrine tumours that is being studied to be applied to a wider range of tumours. 177 Lu is produced in few nuclear reactors mainly by the neutron capture on 176 Lu. However, it could be produced at high-intensity celeratorbased neutron facilities. The energy of the neutrons in accelerator-based neutron facilities is higher than in thermal reactors.Thus, experimental data on the 176 Yb(n,γ) cross-section in the eV and keV region are mandatory to calculate accurately the production of 177 Yb, which beta decays to 177 Lu. At present, there are not experimental data available from thermal to 3 keV of the 176 Yb(n,γ) cross-section. In addition, there is no data in the resolved resonance region (RRR). This contribution shows the first results of the 176 Yb capture measurement performed at the n_TOF facility at CERN.
