Spallation with High Energy Protons as a Source of 178m2Hf Isomers: Optimization and Accumulation

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Induced Gamma Emission Foundation as follows: The contractor will investigate the production of 178m2Hf atoms by means of spallation with high energy protons. The process will be optimized for different targets such as Re or W to get the best isomer-to-ground state ratio and purity of the samples while maximizing the absolute quantity of produced isomeric material.
