Analyzing+the+Production+Curve+of+n-activated+Ag

Back to Main From analyzing the decay curves for the different irradiation times (12, 24, 48, 72, and 144 s) you should have five R 0 values for each of the isotopes.


 * 1) Plot the R 0 values as a function of irradiation time (use Origin or similar software).
 * 2) Assume that the R 0 for the 110 Ag irradiation is exact. Use this value to determine the product of the detector-efficiency and neutron flux. In the following, use this value as "true" whenever you need the product.
 * 3) Use the weight of the silver plate to determine the number of target atoms (silver atoms).
 * 4) Now calculate the theoretical points for the nine other R 0 points.
 * 5) How does your theoretical and experimentally measured points agree?
