    Primary standardization and Monte Carlo modeling of ( 243Am + 239Np) by means of a 4π(PC)-γ coincidence counting system
    2023 - KOSKINAS, MARINA F.; MOREIRA, DENISE S.; YAMAZAKI, IONE M.; COLONNO, MARCELO; SEMMLER, RENATO; MORAIS, THALES S.L.; DIAS, MAURO S.
    The procedure followed by the Nuclear Metrology Laboratory (LMN) at the IPEN for the primary standardization of a ( 243Am + 239Np) solution, in secular equilibrium, is described. The measurement was carried out in a 4π(PC) (α,β)− γ coincidence system. The total activity per unit mass of the solution was determined by the extrapolation technique, using a software coincidence counting systsem. The extrapolation curves were compared with Monte Carlo calculations by means of Code ESQUEMA, used in previous works, which, was improved and applied in order to calculate the alpha, beta, gamma, X-rays and coincidence spectra.

    Primary standardization and determination of gamma ray emission intensities of Ho-166
    2020 - YAMAZAKI, I.M.; KOSKINAS, M.F.; MOREIRA, D.S.; SEMMLER, R.; BRANCACCIO, F.; DIAS, M.S.
    The procedure followed by the Nuclear Metrology Laboratory (LMN) at the IPEN-CNEN/SP, in S~ao Paulo, for the primary standardization of 166Ho is described. The activity of 166Ho was determined by the efficiency extrapolation technique applied to a 4πβ(PC)-γ coincidence system using a gas flow proportional counter in 4π geometry coupled to a 76 x 76 mm NaI(Tl) crystal. The results for the γ-rays intensities at 80.57 and 1379.45 keV were 0.0651(11) and 0.00904(11), respectively.

    Determination of k0 and Q0 for 74Se, 113In, 186W and 191Ir targets applying covariance analysis
    2019 - BARROS, L.F.; RIBEIRO, R.V.; DIAS, M.S.; MORALLES, M.; SEMMLER, R.; YAMAZAKI, I.M.; KOSKINAS, M.F.
    In the present work, the determinations of k0 and Q0 for 74Se, 113In, 186W and 191Ir targets were performed. The irradiations were conducted near the core of the IEA-R1 4.5MW swimming-pool nuclear research reactor of the Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN-CNEN/SP – Nuclear and Energy Research Institute), in São Paulo, Brazil. The irradiation position was chosen where the neutron spectrum shape parameter α is very close to zero. For this reason, the correction to be applied for the determination of Q0 is very close to one, thus improving the accuracy of the results. For each experiment, two irradiations were carried out in sequence: the first one with bare samples and the second with a cadmium cover around the samples. All partial uncertainties were considered, applying the covariance matrix methodology. The final results were compared with the literature.

    SUMCOR
    2018 - DIAS, M.S.; SEMMLER, R.; MOREIRA, D.S.; MENEZES, M.O. de; BARROS, L.F.; RIBEIRO, R.V.; KOSKINAS, M.F.
    The main features of code SUMCOR developed for cascade summing correction for volumetric sources are described. MCNP6 is used to track histories starting from individual points inside the volumetric source, for each set of cascade transitions from the radionuclide. Total and FEP efficiencies are calculated for all gamma-rays and X-rays involved in the cascade. Cascade summing correction is based on the matrix formalism developed by Semkow et al. (1990). Results are presented applying the experimental data sent to the participants of two intercomparisons organized by the ICRM-GSWG and coordinated by Dr. Marie-Cristine Lepy from the Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel (LNE-LNHB), CEA, in 2008 and 2010, respectively and compared to the other participants in the intercomparisons.
