“…The mechanism behind photonuclear reactions changes according to the energy of the incident photons. However, to date, most photonuclear reactions have been studied in terms of bremsstrahlung photons in the energy range of 10-30 MeV [5][6][7][8] and have involved the use of medical electron linear accelerators (linacs). In this energy range, only simple reactions, such as (γ,n), (γ,2n), and (γ,p), can take place [5,[9][10][11], with the compound reaction mechanism playing a dominant role.…”

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.

Photonuclear reactions have great importance in understanding the structure of the nuclei. These reactions, performed using the gamma rays obtained by way of bremsstrahlung, are a standard nuclear physics experiment. In this study, a non-enriched barium sample was activated for the first time by using a clinical linear accelerator (cLINACs). The spectrum of barium radioisotopes was obtained by using a gamma spectrometry with a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The obtained spectroscopic data were analyzed and energy levels and half-life values together with their uncertainties were obtained. Some energy levels and half-lives of [Formula: see text]Ba were determined with more precision than those of literature values.
