    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.

    Preliminary measurements of k0 values for W-186
    2017 - BARROS, LIVIA F.; DIAS, MAURO S.; KOSKINAS, MARINA F.; YAMAZAKI, IONE M.; SEMMLER, RENATO
    There are various methods of neutron activation analysis, one of these is the k0 Method for quantitative reactor Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA). The k0-NAA procedure is nowadays widely used in numerous laboratories performing NAA all over the world. Among these reactions, 186W(n, )187W can be considered important because it can be used for a W concentration measurements. The irradiations were performed at position 24A, near the core of the IEA-R1 4.5 MW 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. Two irradiations were carried out in sequence, using two sets of samples: the first with a cadmium cover around the samples and the second without, in a total of three data sets with and without Cd cover performed in 2014 and 2015. The activity measurements were carried out in an HPGe gamma-ray spectrometer. Standard sources of 152Eu, 133Ba, 60Co and 137Cs supplied by the IAEA were used in order to obtain the HPGe gamma-ray peak efficiency as a function of the energy. The covariance matrix methodology was applied to all uncertainties involved. The preliminary values of k0 for 186W(n, )187W reaction for the gamma transition energy of 479.53 keV was 3.17x10-2(5), for 618.77 keV was 9.08x10-3(15) and for 685.77 keV was 3.88x10-2(6). These preliminary values for k0 have been compared with the literature.
