My next question about Lutetium is: would it be possible to have it added,
in its natural composition, to the FLUKA neutron cross section library?
There are several materials being presently produced and studied, that
contain Lutetium, and which are being developed, and already produced,
as scintillators for high-energy calorimetry (e.g. HL-LHC upgrades to detectors,
superB detector at Frascati), nuclear detectors and medical imaging (PET) applications.
Let me just mention a few:
LYSO (Lutetium-Yttrium Orthosilicate)
LSO (Lutetium Orthosilicate)
LuAG (Lutetium Aluminum garnet)
Let me just point out right away that Lutetium exhibits a 2.6% mol
natural abundance of 176Lu, a radioactive isotope, which can be important to include, depending on the application.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Best regards
Francesca
