| Abstract | Several international agencies recommend the study of new routes and new facilities for producing radioisotopes with application to nuclear medicine. $^{177}$Lu is a versatile radioisotope used for therapy and diagnosis (theranostics) of cancer with good success in neuroendocrine tumours that is being studied to be applied to a wider range of tumours. $^{177}$Lu is produced in few nuclear reactors mainly by the neutron capture on $^{176}$Lu. However, it could be produced at high-intensity celerator based neutron facilities. The energy of the neutrons in accelerator-based neutron facilities is higher than in thermal reactors. Thus, experimental data on the $^{176}$Yb(n,γ) cross-section in the eV and keV region are mandatory to calculate accurately the production of $^{177}$Yb, which beta decays to $^{177}$Lu. At present, there are not experimental data available from thermal to 3 keV of the $^{176}$Yb(n,γ) cross-section. In addition, there is no data in the resolved resonance region (RRR). This contribution shows the first results of the $^{176}$Yb capture measurement performed at the n_TOF facility at CERN. |
