“…Solid angle calculations could be performed with Monte Carlo simulation codes such as Solang and Advanced Alpha-spectrometric Simulation (AASI) or available exact mathematical equations for common geometries . Comparison of the experimental detector efficiency results and calculated geometric efficiencies by Solang and AASI for different SDDs is shown in Table S-2.…”

This work presents the determination of the Gd andDy content in Pb targets irradiated by 220-2600 MeV protons. It includes the chemical separation of lanthanides, followed by the preparation of proper samples, by molecular plating technique, for α-spectrometry measurements. The experimental cross section results were compared with theoretical predictions, calculated with the INCL++-ABLA07 code. The comparisons showed a satisfactory agreement for Gd (less than within a factor two), while measuredDy cross sections are higher than the theoretical values.

Radiochemical Determination of Rare Earth Elements in Proton-Irradiated Lead–Bismuth Eutectic

et al. 2015

Various types of proton-irradiated lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) samples from the MEGAPIE prototype spallation target were analyzed concerning their content of (148)Gd, (173)Lu, and (146)Pm by use of α- and γ-spectrometry. A radiochemical separation procedure was developed to isolate the lanthanide fraction and to prepare thin samples for α-ray measurement. The results prove a substantial depletion of these three elements in bulk samples, whereas accumulation on the LBE/steel-interfaces was observed. The amount of material accumulated on surfaces was roughly estimated by relating the values measured on the sample surfaces to the total surface of the inner target walls. The amount of (148)Gd, (173)Lu, and (146)Pm was then quantified by summing up the contributions from every sample type. The results show a reasonable agreement with theoretical predictions. The obtained results are of utmost importance for the evaluation of the performance of high-power spallation targets, especially concerning the residual nuclide production, the physicochemical behavior of the produced radionuclides during operation, and in terms of an intermediate or final disposal.

“…Conway [15] has calculated the geometrical efficiency between a circular disk and rectangular sources. Also, Cornejo Dyaz et al [16] have presented a computer program to calculate the solid angle subtended by rectangular source. Ercan and Demirel [17] had calculated the efficiency of a rectangular plate source.…”
