The results of the first photonuclear reaction performed in Turkey: the zinc example

Abstract: Abstract:We have investigated the decays of several zinc isotopes produced by photonuclear reactions, which were induced by bremsstrahlung photon beams from a clinical e-linac. A photon beam of 18 MeV endpoint energy was directed at a target consisting of primarily zinc isotopes in their natural abundances. Subsequently, the induced decays of unstable zinc isotopes were measured with an HPGe detector twice, once shortly after irradiation and once on the following day. Decays of Zn-63, Zn-65, Zn-69m, and Cu-67 … Show more

“…These data are also important for dosimetry, calculation of the absorbed dose, radiation protection, designing radiation shielding, and activation analyses, including archaeological and forensic science, material analysis, medical science, environmental science, geological science, and meteoroid analysis [7][8][9][10][11]. Also, there are numerous examples of using photonuclear reactions to determine half-lives of certain isotopes [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…For the first time in Turkey, it was carried out by Akdeniz University Nuclear Sciences Research and Application Center (NUBA) using local facilities of the country in 2013 [1]. The PAA method we use to perform elemental analysis is quite suitable for elemental analyses of a sample especially when it comes to precise samples such as meteorites mainly because of its non-destructiveness, cheapness, easy accessibility.…”
