Ag-111 production at SPES

FLUKA calculations were used to estimate the production rate of Ag-111 and other medical radionuclides at SPES. A detailed explanation is presented in a dedicated page. These calculations were published in the following papers: Andrighetto, A., Tosato, M., Ballan, M. et al. The ISOLPHARM project: ISOL-based production of radionuclides for medical applications. J Radioanal Nucl Chem 322, 73–77…

Quantum insights into the photo-ionization of silver-111 in a new paper by the laser group

After several experimental works, a first theoretical study was recently released by the SPES-ISOLPHARM laser group. The paper, entitled “Laser photo-ionization efficiency of silver-111 for the SPES-ISOLPHARM project”, was published by the journal Applied Radiation and Isotopes (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apradiso.2025.112143) and investigates, through the quantum density matrix formalism, the optimization of the laser parameters affecting the photo-ionization…
