“…The count rates of the chemically separated radionuclides were converted to decay rates by applying corrections [14,15,[22][23][24] for radiochemical yield, intensities of γ -rays, efficiencies of the detectors, geometry of counting, absorption, selfabsorption, pile-up effects and coincidence losses. Cross sections were calculated using the conventional activation formula.…”

Measurement of fission neutron spectrum averaged cross sections of some threshold reactions on dysprosium: small-scale production of no-carrier-added¹⁵³Gd in a nuclear reactor

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 dysprosium; our measurements constitute the first systematic studies. Of special interest was the investigation of the 156 Dy(n, α) 153 Gd reaction for the production of no-carrier-added 153 Gd in a nuclear reactor. Using 100% enriched 156 Dy target, 8633 KBq of 153 Gd per batch can be produced which is, however, not sufficient for medical application.
