Abstract

Precise integral measurement of fast neutron-induced fission product yields for various actinides is of high interest for applied nuclear science. The goal of this effort is to improve uncertainties in fission product yield values of ²³⁷Np. Fission was induced in a NpO₂(NO₃) target using the Godiva IV critical assembly in burst mode. The irradiated sample was transferred to a high-resolution γ-ray detection setup within 50 minutes. γ-ray list mode data was collected from 50 minutes to 1 week after the irradiation. γ-ray spectroscopy was performed to analyze the time dependent γ-ray yields using an automated peak search algorithm to identify isotopes by their decay γ-ray energy and half-life. The initial activity for each isotope identified was used to calculate their fission product yield.

利用戈迪瓦 IV 临界组件测量 237Np 裂变谱累积裂变产物当量

对各种锕系元素的快中子诱发裂变产物产率进行精确的积分测量，对应用核科学具有重要意义。这项工作的目标是改善 237Np 裂变产物产率值的不确定性。使用 Godiva IV 临界组件在爆发模式下诱导 NpO2（NO3）靶裂变。辐照样品在 50 分钟内被转移到高分辨率 γ 射线探测装置上。利用自动峰值搜索算法，通过衰变γ射线能量和半衰期来识别同位素。所确定的每种同位素的初始活度都被用来计算其裂变产物产率。
