Refined determination of k0 and Q0 factors for key short-lived radionuclides in k0-neutron activation analysis
摘要
This study presents a precise re-determination of the k0 and Q0 factors for three short-lived radionuclides: 116m2In, 165mDy, and 183mW, at the Dalat Research Reactor. The determined k0 factors show high concordance with literature values. Conversely, the Q0 factors exhibit significant discrepancies, revealing inherent challenges in determining this parameter for short-lived nuclides. These results contribute important data for the k0-NAA method and emphasize the need for continuous validation and re-evaluation of nuclear data.
