Title: Experimental and calculated radionuclide production by photonuclear reactions using Bremsstrahlung photons produced by 150 MeV electrons

Abstract

We have developed an experimental apparatus to study radionuclide production by photonuclear reactions. A nearly neutron-free bremsstrahlung beam was created by incident electron interactions with a tantalum radiator. We studied photonuclear reactions in different samples, including the elements Be, Na, Si, Cl, and Ge. Decay gamma rays from radionuclides having half lives > 2 min were analysed. Using the PICA code, we calculated the yield of radionuclides for silicon. We have observed and assigned a new gamma ray transition, of E({gamma}) = 1153 keV, to the decay of 6.6 min 29-Al.
