Modeling Nuclear Reactions for PET/MRI MultiModal Imaging: the innovative use of 52gMn
A. Colombi, F. Barbaro, L. Canton +2
MultiModal Imaging is an innovative technique that consists in the combination of diagnostic exams based on different physical processes, to obtain a unique image with more detaile…
Transformation seismology: composite soil lenses for steering surface elastic Rayleigh waves
A. Colombi, S. Guenneau, P. Roux +1
Metamaterials are artificially structured media that can focus (lensing) or reroute (cloaking) waves, and typically this is developed for electromagnetic waves at millimetric down…
Fluid-loaded metasurfaces
E. A. Skelton, R. V. Craster, A. Colombi +1
We consider wave propagation along fluid-loaded structures which take the form of an elastic plate augmented by an array of resonators forming a metasurface, that is, a surface str…
Production of high purity Mn from V targets with -beams at cyclotrons
A. Colombi, M. P. Carante, F. Barbaro +2
Radioisotope Mn is of special interest for multimodal imaging. Using state-of-art nuclear reaction codes, we study the alternative nuclear reaction route V(,x)$…
Adhesion and volume constraints via nonlocal interactions lead to cell sorting
J. A. Carrillo, A. Colombi, M. Scianna
We demonstrate how concepts of statistical mechanics of interacting particles can have important implications in the choice of interaction potentials to model qualitative propertie…
Attenuation of surface modes in granular media
R. Zaccherini, A. Palermo, A. Marzani +3
In this work, an unconsolidated granular medium, made of silica microbeads, is experimentally tested in a laboratory setting. The objective is to investigate the attenuation mechan…
The innovative Mn for PET imaging: production cross section modeling and dosimetric evaluation
F. Barbaro, L. Canton, M. P. Carante +4
Background: Recently, the reaction V(,x)Mn has been proposed as a possible alternative to the standard Cr(,x)Mn one, but improvements in the…
Seismic metasurfaces: Sub-wavelength resonators and Rayleigh wave interaction
D. J. Colquitt, A. Colombi, R. V. Craster +2
We consider the canonical problem of an array of rods, which act as resonators, placed on an elastic substrate; the substrate being either a thin elastic plate or an elastic half-s…
New results on proton-induced reactions on Vanadium for Sc production and the impact of level densities on theoretical cross sections
F. Barbaro, L. Canton, M. P. Carante +6
New data for the $^\mbox{nat}$V(p,x) reactions have been measured in the range 26-70 MeV, with production of the nuclides Sc, Sc, Sc, Sc, Sc, $…
A Statistical Description of Nuclear Reaction Models for Medical Radionuclides: the Paradigmatic Case of Sc Production with Thick Vanadium Targets
M. P. Carante, F. Barbaro, L. Canton +2
We have introduced a tool to describe in a simple and efficient way the outcomes of known nuclear reaction codes. It differs from the customary use where typically a specific singl…
