A digital twin for ⁶⁴Cu production with cyclotron and solid target system.

ABSTRACT: One method for finding reliable and cost-effective solutions for designing radioisotope production systems is represented by the "digital twin" philosophy of design. Looking at cyclotron solid targets, uncertainties of the particle beam, material composition and geometry play a crucial role in determining the results. The difference between what has been designed and what can be effectively manufactured, where processes such as electroplating are poorly controllable and generate large non-uniformities in deposition, must also be considered. A digital twin, where the target geometry is 3D scanned from real models, can represent a good compromise for connecting "ideal" and "real" worlds. Looking at the ⁶⁴Ni(p,n)⁶⁴Cu reaction, different Unstructured-Mesh MCNP6 models hav
