Employing the activation technique in combination with radiochemical separations and high-resolution γ -ray spectroscopy fission neutron spectrum averaged cross sections were measured for several (n, 2n), (n, p) and (n, α) reactions on isotopes of europium. Our measurements constitute the first systematic studies. Of special interest was the investigation of 153 Eu(n, p) 153 Sm reaction for the production of no-carrieradded 153 Sm in a nuclear reactor. Using 100% enriched 153 Eu target, 97.21 MBq 153 Sm per batch can be produced which is, however, not sufficient for medical application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
