Description

The spectrum of the 238U(γ, f) photofission reaction which is obtained using bremsstrahlung photon beams from a clinical e-linac is analyzed. The following nuclei 94Y, 134Te, 136Pr, 142Ba, 138Xe, 104Tc in the spectrum of our experiment have been identified. The gamma ray energies of the produced nuclei are compared with the literature values. This work is a proof-of-concept experiment which is the first of in the series of our future planned photofission experiments using a clinical e-linac operated with different endpoint energies.
