Measurement of Ac227 Impurity in Ac225 using Decay Energy Spectroscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 225Ac is a valuable medical radionuclide for targeted alpha therapy, but 227Ac is an undesirable byproduct of an accelerator-based synthesis method under investigation. Sufficient detector sensitivity is critical for quantifying the trace impurity of 227Ac, with the 227Ac/225Ac activity ratio predicted to be approximately 0.15% by end-of-bombardment ...
