Photonuclear Reaction Results of Energy Levels of Iodine Isotopes

Abstract

In this study, photonuclear reaction of 127 I has been studied by using bremsstrahlung photons of 18 MeV endpoint energy via a clinical linear accelerator. As a result of this, 127 I(γ,n) 126 I and 127 I(n,γ) 128 I reactions have been observed. The gamma photons emitted by the excited nuclei have been counted with an HPGe detector. The experimental data have been analyzed by using gf3 and ROOT spectrum programs and all the energy transitions have been calculated. The results have been compared with the literature values.
