Tables of nuclear constants for gamma activation analysis

Abstract

Tables of nuclear data were compiled for the purpose of routine gamma (photon) activation analysis. The tables are arranged in two parts. The first one lists the readionuclides in order of their atomic number. In the second one, the emitted gamma-ray photons are tabulated in order of increasing energy. Tables contain the gamma emitters produced by the following photonuclear reactions: (γ, γ), (γ, n), (γ, p), (γ, p+n), (γ, 2n), (γ, 3n), (γ, 4n), (γ, 2p), (γ, α), (γ, α+n), (γ, α+p). This set corresponds to the maximum energy of the bremsstrahlung of roughly 45 MeV. The program for output of the tabulated data is made such that it is possible to reduce the data as required for specific irradiation and measuring conditions (reaction thresholds, energy and intensity of gamma-rays, half-lives and target elements).
