Abstract

The measurement of gamma-ray spectrum of $^{nat}W(p,xn)$ reaction with natural tungsten were performed by using a high energy proton generated from a 100-MeV proton linear accelerator of the Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC). Gamma rays generated by various nuclides generated through the nuclide were measured using a gamma-ray spectroscopy system composed of HPGe detector. A gamma-ray standard source was used for energy calibration and efficiency measurement of the detector. Analysis of the gamma rays observed in the measured spectra showed that the radionuclides produced were $^{167}Re$, $^{178}Re$, $^{179}Re$, $^{180}Re$, $^{181}Re$, $^{182}Re$, $^{184}Re$, $^{172}Ta$, $^{174}Ta$, $^{178}Ta$, $^{182}Ta$, $^{184}Ta$, $^{175}W$, $^{176}W$, $^{177}W$ and $^{179}W$. Nuclides were generated. The results of this study will be applied to nuclear fusion, astrophysics, and nuclear medicine applications in the future.

양성자가속기연구센터(KOMAC)의 100-MeV 양성자 선형가속기에서 생성된 고에너지 양성자를 사용하여 천연 텅스텐과 핵반응을 일으켰다. 핵반응을 통해 생성된 다양한 핵종으로 부터의 감마선은 HPGe 검출기 감마선 분광시스템을 사용하여 측정하였다. 감마선 표준선원은 에너지 교정 및 검출기의 효율 측정에 사용되었다. 측정된 스펙트럼에서 관찰된 감마선을 분석한 결과 방사성 핵종은 $^{167}Re$, $^{178}Re$, $^{179}Re$, $^{180}Re$, $^{181}Re$, $^{182}Re$, $^{184}Re$, $^{172}Ta$, $^{174}Ta$, $^{178}Ta$, $^{182}Ta$, $^{184}Ta$, $^{175}W$, $^{176}W$, $^{177}W$ 및 $^{179}W$ 으로 총 16 종류의 핵종이 생성되었다. 이 연구의 결과는 미래의 핵융합, 천체 물리학 및 핵의학 응용 분야에 적용될 것으로 생각된다.
