Özet

In this study we have used a beam generated by a clinical linac to activate an Indium sample. The beam used was generated by electrons of 18 MeV impacting on a tungsten target. The beam was mainly composed of bremsstrahlung photons with a small admixture of neutrons. The gamma-ray spectrum of the sample was recorded with a HPGe in an offline setup. Here we present the values obtained from the analysis of the spectrum. Both transition energies of several Indium isotopes as well as half-lives of some of them were obtained. The results shown were compared to the literature values. In majority of the cases there is good agreement and in some case we see significant improvement of uncertainties for transition energies. We have also measured the transition energies and half-lives of Scandium, Antimony, Bromine, Chlorine, Gallium and Praseodymium nuclei experimentally by photonuclear reaction and further results will be submitted for the publication.
