This study measured the yields of the radionuclides 82Sr, 83(m+g)Sr, 85mSr, 85gSr, 87mSr, 81(g+0.976m)Rb, 82mRb, 83gRb, 84(m+g)Rb, and 86(m+g)Rb produced in natSr(γ,xnyp) multiparticle reactions with bremsstrahlung end-point energies of 55-, 60-, and 65-MeV. The bremsstrahlung radiations were generated using the 100-MeV electron linac at the Pohang accelerator laboratory, Korea, and the reaction yields were derived from the induced activities measured using off-line γ-ray spectrometry. To obtain accurate experimental results, we made the necessary γ-ray interference corrections. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical predictions obtained using the TALYS-1.95 statistical nuclear model code. The calculations were performed using six different level-density models to ascertain which model best fitted the experimental results. The dependence of the reaction yield on the incident bremsstrahlung energy and on the number of nucleons emitted by the photonuclear reactions was also investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
