There has been growing clinical evidence of the value of targeted alpha therapy for treatment of several cancers. The work has been slowed by the lack of availability of the key alpha emitting isotopes, especially Ac-225. Until this time,…
The half lives for various clusters lying in the cold reaction valleys of {210-226}^Ra isotopes are computed using our Coulomb and proximity potential model (CPPM). The computed half lives of 4^He and 14^C clusters from {210-226}^Ra…
Focusing on the electron and positron spectrum measured with CALET, which shows characteristic structures, we calculate flux contributions of cosmic rays escaped from supernova remnants, which were randomly born. We adopt a Monte Carlo…

$^{222}Rn$ emanating from environmental dust constitutes an important background component for many low-energy, low-rate experiments. Radon emanation rates from dust and rock, thus, are important for experiment planning. In this paper, we…
In high-intensity (> 10^21W/cm^2) laser-matter interactions gamma-ray photon emission by the electrons can strongly affect the electron's dynamics and copious numbers of electron-positron pairs can be produced by the emitted photons. We…
Purpose: Recent studies suggest ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) irradiation can spare normal tissues from radiotoxicity, while efficiently controlling the tumor, and this is known as the FLASH effect. This study performed theoretical analyses…
This research considers potential dose increase in target due to cisplatin (Pt) concentration and radiation type. Cisplatin concentrations from 0.003 to 120 mM were used. Monte-Carlo simulation of Linear accelerator (Elekta Synergy) and…
In the case of radon exposure, the spatial distribution of deposited radioactive particles is highly inhomogeneous in the central airways. The objective of this research is to investigate the consequences of this heterogeneity regarding…
In this study, recommendations of the AAPM TG- 43 (U1) report have been followed to characterize the new 192Ir pulse dose rate source, provided by the Applied Radiation Research School, Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute in…
Alpha emission from a nucleus is a fundamental decay process in which the alpha particle formed inside the nucleus tunnels out through the potential barrier. We describe alpha decay of $^{212}$Po and $^{104}$Te by means of the configuration…
A microscopic calculation of $\alpha$-cluster preformation probability and $\alpha$ decay width in the typical $\alpha$ emitter $^{212}$Po is presented. Results are obtained by improving a recent approach to describe $\alpha$ preformation…
Alpha and cluster decays are analyzed for heavy nuclei located above $^{208}$Pb on the chart of nuclides: $^{216-220}$Rn and $^{220-224}$Ra, that are also candidates for observing the $2 \alpha$ decay mode. A microscopic theoretical…
Various theories beyond the standard model of particle physics predict the existence of baryon number violating processes resulting in nucleon decay. When occurring within an atomic nucleus, such a decay will be followed by secondary decays…
A transfer reaction and cluster-decay experiment, $^{12}$C($^{16}$O,$^{24}$Mg$\rightarrow$$\alpha$+$^{20}$Ne)$\alpha$, was performed at a beam energy of 96 MeV. Both recoil and decay $\alpha$ particles were detected in coincidence, allowing…
We obtained the spectrum of probability of the bremsstrahlung emission accompanying the $\alpha$-decay of $^{226}{\rm Ra}$ (E$_{\alpha}$=4.8 MeV) by measuring the $\alpha$-$\gamma$ coincidences and using the model presented in our previous…
