Q2. Why is the evaporation of low mass fragments unsuitable?
SPIN AND PARITY EFFECTSStatistical evaporation of excited low mass fragments is unsuitable due to the relatively few, widely spaced levels.
Q3. What are the important reactions for in-vivo or off-line PET monitoring?
Composite ejectiles like d, t, 3He, and α can be reasonably described by coalescence algorithms during the intranuclear cascade and preequilibrium stages.
Q4. What is the important method for in-vivo or off-line PET monitoring?
A popular choice forthese calculations is the Fermi Break-up model [19, 20], where the excited nucleus is supposed to disassemble in one single step into two or more fragments, possibly in excited states, with branching given by plain phase space considerations.
Q5. What is the important reaction for in-vivo or off-line PET monitoring?
All possible combinations of unbound nucleons and/or light fragments are checked at each stage of system evolution and a figure-of-merit evaluation based on phase space closeness at the nucleus periphery is used to decide whether a light fragment is formed.
Q6. What is the important technique for in-vivo hadrontherapy monitoring?
Another promising technique for in-vivo hadrontherapy monitoring relies on the detection of prompt photons emitted following nuclear interactions by the beam particles.
