Cross sections for (223,)(225)Ra, (225)Ac and (227)Th production by the proton bombardment of natural thorium targets were measured at proton energies below 200 MeV. Our measurements are in good agreement with previously published data and offer a complete excitation function for (223,)(225)Ra in the energy range above 90 MeV. Comparison of theoretical predictions with the experimental data shows reasonable-to-good agreement. Results indicate that accelerator-based production of (225)Ac and (223)Ra below 200 MeV is a viable production method.

Background: Rapid planning is of tremendous value in proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) therapy in overcoming range uncertainty. However, the dose calculation of the dose influence matrix (D) in robust PBS plan optimization is time-consuming and requires substantial acceleration to enhance efficiency.
Purpose: To accelerate the D calculations in PBS therapy, we developed an AI-D engine integrated into our in-house treatment planning system (TPS).

Inorganic lead-free metal halide perovskites have garnered much attention as low-toxicity alternatives to lead halide perovskites for luminescence and photovoltaic applications. However, the electronic structure and properties of these materials, including the composition dependence of the band structure, spin-orbit coupling, and Zeeman effects, remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated vacancy-ordered CsBiX (X= Cl, Br) perovskite nanocrystals using magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy.

The effects of cosmic-ray bombardment of chiral molecules in the interstellar medium are simulated in the laboratory by performing radiolysis experiments of pure α-pinene ices at four different temperatures. The identification and significance of α-pinene have not been fully understood because of the insufficient amount of spectral information of these compounds at low temperatures. A comparison of the temperature dependence of the mid-infrared spectra of pure α-pinene ices before and after irradiation its irradiation by 61.

Based on density functional theory calculations, we propose a new pathway toward compounds featuring flat [AgF] layers which mimic [CuO] layers in high-temperature oxocuprate superconductor precursors. Calculations predict the dynamic (phonon) and energetic stability of the new phases over diverse substrates. For some compounds with ferro orbital ordering, we find a gigantic intrasheet superexchange constant of up to -211 meV (DFT+) and -256 meV (SCAN), calculated for hypothetical (CsMgF)KAgF intergrowth.
