NCP QAU Islamabad (2008)
Main research areas covered by 5MV Pelletron Tandem
Accelerator are:
•Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE)
•Rutherford and Non-Rutherford Backscattering
Spectroscopy (RBS)
•Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA)
•Gamma Ray Spectroscopy (GRS)
11
GCU Lahore (2008)
• 4MeV Pelletron accelerator has two active beam lines;
• one beam line is being effectively used for Proton
Induced X-Ray Emission Spectroscopy (PIXE) analysis
of materials by different science departments of the
university.
• The second beam line is used for irradiation of materials.
Medical Cyclotrons (2008)
• Total 2 in Pakistan
• One in INMOL
• One in SKMCH
• Purpose is PET imaging
INMOL Lahore
• 16.5 Mev cyclotron
• Can produce short-lived radioisotopes like
F-18, C-II, N-13 and 0-15.
Objectives of NUCDATA 2001
• To make nuclear data availability simple and efficient.
• To optimize activities with respect to different irradiation and decay schemes with the help of program developed in the database.
• To make queries for the unknown/ interfering peaks.
• To get information about the probable source(s) of radionuclide(s).
• To keep data traceability to IAEA database.
Cross Section Data 2005
