ABSTRACT

The independent isomeric yield ratios (IR) for the 139m,gNd and the 141m,gNd isomeric pairs produced from the natNd(γ, xn) reactions were determined by the activation and the off-line γ-ray spectrometric technique at the end-point bremsstrahlung energies of 45, 50, 55, and 60 MeV in the 100 MeV electron Linac of the Pohang accelerator laboratory, Korea. The present IR for the 141m,gNd isomeric pair were compared with those from the literature measured by the bremsstrahlung and the neutron to examine the role of excitation energy. The obtained IR for the 139m,gNd and the 141m,gNd isomeric pairs from natNd(γ, xn) reactions were compared with those from the 141Pr(p, x), the natCe(3He, x), and the 136Ce(α n) reactions to examine the role of parameters in entrance channel i.e. excitation energy and the effect of the input angular momentum. The present IR of 139m,gNd and 141m,gNd were compared with those calculated by using the TALYS 1.4 code as well as those from the literature data of above mentioned reactions.
