On the photon self-absorption correction for thin-target-yields vs. thick-target-yields in radionuclide production / Z.B. Alfassi, E. Persico, F.M. Groppi Garlandini, M. Bonardi. - In: APPLIED RADIATION AND ISOTOPES. - ISSN 0969-8043. - 67:2(2009 Feb), pp. 240-242.
Abstract:
In the experimental determination of activity of low gamma energy emitters by HPGe spectrometry, after cyclotron irradiation of thick targets of high Z elements, it is mandatory to introduce a correction for gamma-ray self-absorption in the target. The amount of this correction is substantial in order to provide a statistically acceptable agreement with the thick-target-yield data obtained by integration of the experimental thin-target-yield data that are very slightly affected by self-absorption instead.
