Measurement of Energy Transitions for the Decay Radiations of 75 Ge and 69 Ge in a High Purity Germanium Detector

Photoactivation experiments have a wide range of application areas in nuclear, particle physics, and medical physics such as measuring energy levels and half-lifes of nuclei, experiments for understanding imaging methods in medicine, isotope production for patient treatment, radiation security and transportation, radiation therapy, and astrophysics processes. In this study, some energy transition values of the decay radiations of Ge-75 and Ge-69, which are the products of photonuclear reactions (gamma, n) with germanium isotopes (Ge-75 and Ge-69), were measured. The gamma spectrum as a result of atomic transitions were analysed by using a high purity semiconductor germanium detector and the energy transition values which are presented here were compared with the ones which are the best in literature. It was observed that the results presented are in agreement with literature in error range and some results have better precisions. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
