of the input
• Examples already
prepared
runs
to show the
possible options

examples to see how the fields are filledClick to run the selected example
• Recall previous run

Place the meta state in the near field as "M" or "G".
"show all" plots the activity of every produced nuclide, otherwise only the selected one and the sum of rest are plotted
• Target
Valid formats:
100MO MO100 100-MO MO-100 MO 100 100 MO
Natural isotopic composition: input the element without mass (MO)
Custom composition
The "composition" button opens the input form (only for the element specified int Target field). Format
"mass" + " " + "value" (new line to add other masses)
The sum of the values can be any. Isotopia takes care of the normalisation
• Density
Leave the field blank to use the default value, which will be displayed in the output, or place your
value
• Thickness / Exit energy
Warning: for a given Exit Energy (Thickness), the Thickness (Exit Energy) is estimated using an approximation of the Bethe-Bloch formula, which might be inaccurate for low energies or very thin targets
• Energy range
An energy range is sampled. One can choose to keep a fix Target Thickness or a fix Exit Energy .
The Exit energy and 3D buttons will be enabled:
Exit energy or Target thickness as function of the Incident energy
a 3D plot of time, energy, and activity
• Cross section
Cross section To input your own cross-section, press "User defined"
Input energy in Mev and cross section in mb, separated by a space, use point as decimal separator
Hover the mouse on the top-right on the
plot.
Dowloading, zooming, and other actions are available
Click on a legend item to hide/show the line.
Double click to isolate the line
Drag a rectangle to zoom on it. Double-click anywhere to restet the chart

Where available the cross sections from IAEA-evaluated libraries (see below) are used. These are
extended to
the
0 - 200 MeV range using TENDL data
For reactions not covered by IAEA-evaluated cross sections, TENDL is used.
Each cross section used is labelled with the source library, and, in case of IAEA-evaluated ones, are also given the energies for which the TENDL library is being used to complete the 0 - 200 MeV range
IAEA cross sections
have been evaluated in a series of IAEA research projects that started in 2005. Numerical data and plots are available on-line at the IAEA Medical portal Medical portal
