| Popis: | The average cross-sections for the 160Gd(γ,n)159Gd and 142Ce(γ,n)141Ce reactions have been measured relative to the cross-section of 197Au(γ,n)196Au reaction at the bremsstrahlung end-point energy of 10 MeV. The average cross-sections of 160Gd(γ,n)159Gd and 142Ce(γ,n)141Ce reactions were determined using an off-line γ-ray spectrometric technique and were found in close agreement with the literature data. The uncertainties of the measurements have been studied using covariance analysis of the experimental data for the photo-nuclear reactions. Both 159Gd and141Ce are the beta emitting radio-nuclides with short half-life, which makes them perfect elements for nuclear medicinal purposes, like radio-imaging and for metastatic bone tumour. |
