Abstract

Nuclear formation cross sections are reported for 26 radionuclides, measured with 40–200 MeV proton irradiations of terbium foils. These data provide the basis for the production of medically relevant radionuclides (e.g., ¹⁵²Tb, ¹⁵⁵Tb, ¹⁵⁵Eu, and ¹⁵⁶Eu) and ¹⁵³Gd, a potential source used in ongoing efforts to characterize stellar nucleosynthesis routes. Computational predictions from the ALICE2011, CEM03.03, Bertini, and INCL + ABLA codes are also compared with newly measured data to contribute to the ongoing process of code development, and yields are calculated for selected radionuclides using measured data.

Identification of new neutron-rich rare-earth isotopes produced in /sup 252/Cf spontaneous fission

Conference Greenwood, R C ; Anderl, R A ; Cole, J D ; ... - AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)

New neutron-rich isotopes of several rare-eath elements have been identified using the /sup 252/Cf-based ISOL facility at the INEL. New isotopes observed to date, with values of their half-lives in parentheses, are /sup 153/Pr (4.28 +- 0.11 s), /sup 155/Nd (8.9 +- 0.2 s), /sup 156/Nd (5.47 +- 0.11 s), /sup 157/Pm (10.50 +- 0.12 s), /sup 158/Pm (4.8 +- 0.5 s), /sup 162/Eu (10.6 +- 1.0 s) and /sup 164/Gd (45 +- 3 s). Also, new half-life values have been measured for /sup 151/Pr (18.90 +- 0.07 s), /sup 152/Pr (3.7 +- 0.2 s), /sup 153/Nd (28.9 +- 0.4more »« less
Nuclear data for gadolinium production

Conference Holden, N E - Trans. Am. Nucl. Soc.; (United States)

There has been a marked increase in requests for neutron cross-section data of the rare-earth isotopes, /sup 152/Gd, /sup 153/Gd, /sup 151/Eu, /sup 152/Eu, /sup 153/Eu, /sup 154/Eu, and /sup 155/Eu because of the use of natural europium-oxide in reactor production of /sup 153/Gd. This gadolinium isotope is needed because of its use as the working ingredient in an advanced medical scanning machine that can detect loss of bone minerals such as calcium, a possible cause of the disease osteoporosis. Hanford's Fast Flux Test Facility plans to begin production of several /sup 153/Gd specimens during this autumn's operating cycle. Anmore »« less
V&V of MCNP 6.1.1 Beta Against Intermediate and High-Energy Experimental Data

Technical Report Mashnik, Stepan G

This report presents a set of validation and verification (V&V) MCNP 6.1.1 beta results calculated in parallel, with MPI, obtained using its event generators at intermediate and high-energies compared against various experimental data. It also contains several examples of results using the models at energies below 150 MeV, down to 10 MeV, where data libraries are normally used. This report can be considered as the forth part of a set of MCNP6 Testing Primers, after its first, LA-UR-11-05129, and second, LA-UR-11-05627, and third, LA-UR-26944, publications, but is devoted to V&V with the latest, 1.1 beta version of MCNP6.

NEW TERBIUM ISOTOPE Tb$sup 15$$sup 2$

Journal Article Toth, K S ; Faler, K T ; Rasmussen, J O - Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D

A careful examination of photon and electron spectra from cyclotron- produced mixtures of light terbium isotopes led to the identification of a new isotope, Tb/sup 152/ with an 18.5-hr half life. The 344.1-kev transition from first excited state to ground in daughter Gd/sup 152/ was identified and shown to be identical in energy to a transition associated with the beta decay of 9.3-hr Eu/sup 152m/ to the same daughter nucleus. Gamma transitions of 180 and 265 kev are also assigned to the decay of Tb/sup 152/ (auth)

THE RADIOACTIVITY OF TERBIUM-158 AND TERBIUM-157

Journal Article Bhat, M R - Dissertation Abstr.

Dysprosium enriched to 0.9% in the mass number 158 was bombarded in the Battelle Reactor for a period of three weeks with an average flux of 5 x lO/sup 12/ neutrons/cm/sup 2/sec. A chemical separation of the resulting activity was performed and a terbium fraction was obtained. After an elapse of 27 months, during which interval the Tb/sup 160/ - tially present in the chemical fraction had disappeared, an examination of the gamma spectrum of the terbium cheraical fraction showed gamma rays at energies of 79.7, higher than 950 kev was observed. A weak gamma ray at an energy ofmore »« less
