In this study, photonuclear
reaction of ¹²⁷I has been studied by using bremsstrahlung photons of
18 MeV endpoint energy via a clinical linear accelerator. As a result of this, ¹²⁷I(γ,n)¹²⁶I
and ¹²⁷I(n,γ)¹²⁸I reactions have been observed. The gamma
photons emitted by the excited nuclei have been counted with an HPGe detector.
The experimental data have been analyzed by using gf3 and ROOT spectrum
programs and all the energy transitions have been calculated. The results have
been compared with the literature values.

Bu çalışmada, bir klinik
lineer hızlandırıcı yardımıyla 18 MeV maksimum enerjili bremsstrahlung
fotonları kullanılarak ¹²⁷I fotonükleer reaksiyonu çalışıldı. Bunun
bir sonucu olarak, ¹²⁷I(γ,n)¹²⁶I ve ¹²⁷I(n,γ)¹²⁸I
reaksiyonları gözlemlendi. Uyarılmış çekirdekler tarafından yayımlanan gamma
fotonları bir HPGe detektör ile sayıldı. Deneysel data gf3 ve ROOT spektrum
programları kullanılarak analiz edildi ve tüm enerji geçişleri hesaplandı.
Sonuçlar literatür değerleriyle karşılaştırıldı.
