Gamma intensities for the β-decay of 97Zr

Gamma intensities for the β-decay of 97Zr

To determine the neutron flux in activation experiments, a commonly used monitor is zirconium and in particular the stable isotopes 94,96Zr. 96Zr is very sensitive to epithermal neutrons. Despite its widespread application, most gamma intensities of the radioactive neutron capture product, 97Zr, yie...

Zusammenfassung:To determine the neutron flux in activation experiments, a commonly used monitor is zirconium and in particular the stable isotopes 94,96Zr. 96Zr is very sensitive to epithermal neutrons. Despite its widespread application, most gamma intensities of the radioactive neutron capture product, 97Zr, yield large uncertainties. With the help of a new γ spectroscopy setup and GEANT simulations, we succeeded in determining a new set of γ-ray intensities with significantly reduced uncertainties.
