SINBAD ABSTRACT NEA-1552/16

Radioactivity Induced by GeV-Protons and Spallation Neutrons (2001)

 1. Name of Experiment:
    ------------------
    Measurement of Radioactivity Induced by GeV-Protons and Spallation Neutrons
    Using AGS accelerator


 2. Purpose and Phenomena Tested:
    ----------------------------
    Measurement of radioactivity induced by high-energy protons with energy of 2.83
    and 24 GeV and spallation neutrons produced by bombarding a mercury target with
    the high-energy protons were performed by using the AGS (Alternative Gradient
    Synchrotron) accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory.  The samples of boron,
    carbon, aluminum, iron, copper, niobium, mercury-oxide, lead, bismuth, acrylic
    resin, SS-316, Inconel-625 and Inconel-718 were irradiated around the mercury
    target.  After the irradiation, the radioactivity of each sample was measured
    by using HPGe detectors at the cooling time between 2 h and 200 d.  In the
    processing of the measured g-ray spectra, more than 90 radioactive nucleus were
    identified, and the radioactivity production data were obtained.
