Specific Gamma-Ray Dose Constants with Current Emission Data

The specific gamma-ray dose constant represents the gamma effective dose rate due to a point source of unit activity of a given nuclide at 1 m. New tabulations of specific gamma-ray dose constants have been made using current gamma emission data from the SCALE 6.2.3 software package and International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 107, combined with the effective dose per fluence conversion coefficients (antero-posterior orientation) of International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 116. SCALE data cover 1,264 nuclides, and International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 107 data include 1,192 nuclides, with only 777 nuclides in common between the two sets.

Production rate calibration for cosmogenic 10 Be in pyroxene by applying a rapid fusion method to 10 Be-saturated samples from the Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica

Measurements of multiple cosmogenic nuclides in a single sample are valuable for various applications of cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating and allow for correcting exposure ages for surface weathering and erosion and establishing exposure–burial history. Here we provide advances in the measurement of cosmogenic 10 Be in pyroxene and constraints on the production rate that provide new opportunities for measurements of multi-nuclide systems, such as 10 Be/ 3 He, in pyroxene-bearing samples. We extracted and measured cosmogenic 10 Be in pyroxene from two sets of Ferrar Dolerite samples collected from the Transantarctic Mountains in Antarctica. One set of samples has 10 Be concentrations close to saturation, which allows for the production rate calibration of 10 Be in pyroxene by assuming production–decay equilibrium. The other set of samples, which has a more recent exposure history, is used to determine if a rapid fusion method can be successfully applied to samples with Holocene to Last Glacial Maximum exposure ages. From measured 10 Be concentrations in the near-saturation sample set we find the production rate of 10 Be in pyroxene to be 3.74 ± 0.10 atoms g -1 yr -1 , which is consistent with 10 Be/ 3 He paired nuclide ratios from samples assumed to have simple exposure. Given the high 10 Be concentration measured in this sample set, a sample mass of ~ 0.5 g of pyroxene is sufficient for the extraction of cosmogenic 10 Be from pyroxene using a rapid fusion method. However, for the set of samples that have low 10 Be concentrations, measured concentrations were higher than expected. We attribute spuriously high 10 Be concentrations to failure in removing all meteoric 10 Be and/or a highly variable and poorly quantified procedural blank background correction.

Exposure and Terrestrial Histories of New Lunar and Martian Meteorites

Cosmogenic nuclide studies of lunar and Martian meteorites have contributed significantly to our understanding of these objects. By measuring a combination of cosmogenic stable- and radionuclides, we can determine a number of important properties of those meteorites. Most lunar meteorites have complex cosmic ray exposure histories, having been exposed both at some depth on the lunar surface (2 irradiation) before their ejection and as small bodies in space (4 irradiation) during transport from the Moon to the Earth. On the other hand, we have not observed evidence of complex exposure history for any Martian meteorites, so far. These exposures were then followed by residence on Earth s surface, a time commonly referred to as the terrestrial age. In addition to their complement of galactic cosmic ray (GCR) produced nuclides some lunar and Martian meteorites contain nuclides produced by solar cosmic rays (SCR). Unraveling the complex history of these objects requires the measurement of at least four cosmogenic nuclides. The specific goals of these measurements are to constrain or set limits on the following shielding or exposure parameters: (1) the depth of the sample at the time of ejection from the Moon or Mars; (2) the transit time (4 exposure age) from ejection off the lunar or Martian surface to the time of capture by the Earth and (3) the terrestrial residence time. The sum of the transit time and residence time yield an ejection age. The ejection age, in conjunction with the sample depth on the Moon or Mars, can then be used to model impact and ejection mechanisms.

Sensitivity Coefficients Calculated for the Prompt Neutron Decay Constant At or Near Delayed Critical

The derivation of a non-invasive prompt neutron decay constant sensitivity coefficient is provided in this work. The computation of the sensitivity coefficient derived in this work does not require modification of Monte Carlo source code and is based on capabilities available in Monte Carlo N-Particle R© Code Version 6.2. The prompt neutron decay constant sensitivity coefficients are calculated for 44-group and 252-group energy structures for specific nuclide-reaction pairs in the Jezebel benchmark experiment. The nuclide-reaction pairs investigated in this work include Pu- 239(n,f), Pu-240(n,f), and Pu-241(n,f). Physical explanations of the sensitivity profiles exhibited by the 252-group energy structure are investigated for the prompt neutron multiplication factor, mean neutron lifetime, and prompt neutron decay constant. The prompt neutron decay constant sensitivity coefficients calculated for the 44-group and 252-group energy structure of Pu-239(n,f) are compared. Lastly, the 44-group energy structure sensitivity coefficients calculated are used for nuclear-data induced uncertainty quantification of the neutron multiplication factor. This work shows that a reduction in the nuclear data-induced uncertainty of the neutron multiplication factor is possible for all nuclide-reaction pairs investigated when prompt neutron decay constant sensitivity coefficients are utilized. This is important for new critical experiment design optimization studies of measurement configurations. This work provides a basis for more detailed sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification of nuclide, reaction, and energy-specific cross section data.

Automated Direct Perturbation Calculations with SCALE TSUNAMI [Abstract]

In nuclear criticality safety analysis, the sensitivity of the eigenvalue keff to uncertainties in nuclear data and its evaluation are crucial. The TSUNAMI sequences within the SCALE code system offer users various options with both multigroup (MG) and continuous-energy (CE) 3D Monte Carlo (MC) transport capabilities for calculating keff sensitivity coefficients and storing them in a sensitivity data file (SDF). Each methodology available in TSUNAMI offers distinct advantages and limitations, and its effectiveness can vary based on the specific problem being solved. As a best practice, practitioners typically use the direct perturbation (DP) method as a confirmatory step alongside their sensitivity calculations to verify the accuracy of the sensitivity data generated. In this process, DP calculations are usually performed on select nuclides, those considered most important for validating their total sensitivities. However, because of code limitations, analysts use a workaround method when conducting DP calculations for a single nuclide: rather than perturbing the nuclide's microscopic cross section, an equivalent number density for this nuclide is calculated to reflect the effect of a change in the macroscopic cross section due to a perturbation in the microscopic cross section. The current approach requires rerunning the CSAS criticality calculation several times with model changes. Although this method can yield results with acceptable accuracy, it is labor-intensive and prone to errors.

Long‐term growth and persistence of granitic inselbergs in a semi‐arid cratonic landscape

Granitic inselbergs are enduring landforms that punctuate planation surfaces in tectonically stable settings, yet the mechanisms and timescales of their persistence remain debated. Here, in this study, we present a multinuclide cosmogenic dataset ( 10 Be, 26 Al and 21 Ne) from bedrock, fluvial sediments and planation surfaces in the semi-arid Central Ceará Domain, north-eastern Brazil, to quantify denudation rates and reconstruct the long-term dynamics of residual relief formation. This triple-nuclide approach enables independent validation of denudation contrasts and long-term exposure histories, providing quantitative constraints on inselberg evolution that a single-nuclide approach could not resolve. Bedrock denudation rates (1–4 m Myr −1 ) are systematically lower than basin-wide rates (8–14 m Myr −1 ), revealing a regional pattern of vertical differential denudation. When combined with summit elevations and surface exposure ages of up to 5 Myr, these contrasts suggest that cumulative relief growth has been operating over timescales of tens of millions of years (1–57 Myr). Morphological and structural observations further indicate localized mass wasting and heterogeneous erosion styles, modulated by rock fabric and joint density. Cosmogenic nuclide inventories in detrital sediments reveal partial reworking from older sediment stocks, including surface pebbles with exposure ages up to 5 Myr, which record multistage of burial and re-exposure histories and reflect episodic remobilization in low-connectivity, semi-arid catchments. Rather than static relicts of ancient surfaces, inselbergs in this cratonic setting emerge as dynamic landforms actively sustained by slow but persistent differential denudation. These results provide new constraints on long-term cratonic landscape evolution and underscore the interplay between lithological resistance, structural inheritance and sediment transfer processes in sustaining topographic relief. They also call for a critical reassessment of classical inselberg models, suggesting that hybrid mechanisms, rather than single-process paradigms, more accurately capture the complexity of residual landform development in cratonic interiors.

Nuclear Data Sheets for A=98

Experimental spectroscopic data on nuclear structure and decay are evaluated for known nuclides of mass 98 (Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In). Detailed evaluation results of individual reactions and decays are presented together with the Adopted values that are recommended for level properties, γ and β radiations, and other spectroscopic information. 98 Mo remains as the most extensively studied nuclide via various reactions and decays. Level schemes of Sr, Y, Zr, Tc, and Pd nuclides in this mass chain are also well established to date; while Kr, Rb, Nb, Ag and Cd are amongst the least-studied ones for excited states, with only limited data available for each. On the neutron-rich side, 98 Br has been identified in the 9 Be(238U,F) reaction, but no spectroscopic data are yet available, while for 98 In on the proton-rich side, only the ground state and an isomer are known with half-lives measured but their spin-parities and the absolute level energy of the isomer yet to be determined. While 98 Ru and 98 Rh have also been extensively studied, large discrepancies exist between the high-spin sections of the proposed level schemes in different measurements, and these need to be clarified and resolved with further experimental investigations to improve the currently-adopted ones, which have been selected from the measurements with higher statistics, considering no other criteria of preference. Furthermore, this work supersedes all the earlier evaluations of A=98 (2003Si07, 1998Si18, 1992Si21, 1983Mu21, 1974Me34).

Nuclear Data Sheets for A=64

The evaluated experimental data are presented and evaluated for 13 known nuclides of mass 64 (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se). For each nuclide, the best values combining all available data are recommended for spectroscopic properties. No excited states have been identified in 64 Ti, 64 As, and 64 Se. Only one excited state in 64 V as an isomer, and three in 64 Cr have been identified. Data for excited states in 64 Mn, 64 Fe, and 64 Co remain limited. 64 Ni, 64 Cu, and 64 Zn are the most studied nuclides through various reactions and decays, followed by 64 Ga and 64 Ge. In the opinion of the evaluators, there are several incomplete or discrepant aspects of the high-spin portion of the level scheme for 64 Zn above ≈5 MeV excitation which need to be resolved in further experiments using large γ-detector arrays. The decay schemes of 64 Ti β - , 64 As ε and 64 Se ε are unknown, while very little information is available for 64 V β - and 64 Cr β - . The decay schemes of 64 Mn β - , 64 Fe β - , 64 Co β - and 64Ge ε are somewhat better known, but still considered incomplete by evaluators. The decay scheme of 64 Ga ε decay is known in detail, however there is the possibility of additional levels populated above 4713 keV, as the Q(ε) value is 7171 keV. The β - , β + and ε decay modes of 64 Cu are well known, as this radionuclide is of great importance in applications, for example, as a dosimeter for neutron flux determination in nuclear reactors, and as a radiopharmaceutical for positron emission tomography (PET). This work supersedes earlier full evaluations of A=64 by 2007Si04, 1996Si12, 1991Si03, 1979Ha35 and 1974Au04.

Nuclear Data Sheets for A=48

Experimental nuclear structure data from various reactions and decays are compiled and evaluated for all known nuclides with mass number A=48 (S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni). For each nuclide, detailed evaluated nuclear structure information is presented for each individual reaction and decay, and the best values combining all available data are recommended for spectroscopic properties, such as level energies, half-lives, γ-ray energies and intensities, decay radiations. No excited states have been identified in 48 S, 48 Cl, 48 Co and 48 Ni, among which the first three even have no measured ground-state half-lives and decay modes. For 48 Fe, a level scheme with a sequence of excited states was established for the first time from a recent one-neutron removal measurement by 2021Ya33. Data for excited states in 48 Ar, 48 K and 48 Mn remain limited; no decay scheme has been measured for 48 Ar and 48 K yet, while the decay scheme for 48 Ni is incomplete due to unobserved levels. 48 Ti is the most studied nuclide through various reactions and decays, followed by 48 V, 40 Ca, 48 Sc, and 48 Cr, among which no decay event to 48 Sc has been observed and the decay schemes for 48 V and 48 Cr are considered as incomplete. Furthermore, this work supersedes the previous full evaluations of A=48: 2006Bu08, 1993Bu04, 1985Al14, 1978Be01.

Nuclear Structure and Decay Data for A=71 Isobars

Experimental nuclear spectroscopic data are evaluated for 12 known nuclides of mass number=71 (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se, Br, Kr). Detailed compiled and evaluated information is presented for each reaction and decay experiment. The β – n decay of 72 Co to 71 Ni is included in this work, while for β – n decay of 71 Co to 70 Ni, consult Nuclear Data Sheets for A=70 (2016Gu11) or the ENSDF database for 70 Ni. Combining all the available data, recommended values are provided for energies, spins and parities, and half-lives of levels, with energies, branching ratios and multipolarities of γ radiations, and characteristics of β and α radiations in radioactive decays. Excited-states have not yet been identified in 71 Mn, 71 Fe, and 71 Kr, with the ground-state half-life remaining unknown only for 71 Mn; data for excited states in 71 Co and 71 Ni are very limited; 71 Ga, 71 Ge and 71 As are the most extensively studied nuclides via various reactions and decays, followed by 71 Cu, 71 Zn, 71 Se, and 71 Br, however, except for 71 Ge, the decay schemes of all other nuclides are considered as incomplete due to a large gap between the decay Q-value and the highest observed level. Lastly, this work supersedes earlier evaluations of A=71 by 2011Ab01.

Nuclear Data Sheets for A=245

Available information pertaining to the nuclear structure of ground and excited states for all known nuclei with mass numbers A=245 have been compiled and evaluated. In this work, the adopted level and decay schemes, as well as the detailed nuclear properties and configuration assignments based on experimental data, are presented for these nuclides. When there are insufficient data, expected values from systematics of nuclear properties and/or theoretical calculations are utilized. Unexpected or discrepant experimental results are also noted. Since the last evaluation, new rotational bands in 245 Pu have been observed to high spin from transfer reaction 244 Pu( 209 Bi, 208 Biγ) by 2014Ho16. While in 245 Am, the 249 Bk α decay measurements by 2013Ah03 added a new rotational band based on π3/2[521] configuration. The 245 Pu β - decay scheme is basically what was proposed in the late 60's and 47 γ rays have still not been placed. In 245 Cm, precise alpha energies and intensities were measured by 2015Ah03 in 249Cf α decay. Their reported alpha energies of the main α group were about 2 keV lower than in the previous evaluation. The spin and parity of the g.s. of 245 Es is still ambiguous as more detailed information on the decay is needed. With the production of 249 No via fusion evaporation reaction by groups in Dubna and GSI, it's alpha decay was studied and some properties of the daughter 245 Fm were published and included in this evalaution. Information on the other nuclides is scarce and not much has been investigated since the last evaluation. A summary and compilation of the discovery of the various nuclides in this mass region is given in: 2013Fr02 ( 245 Pu, 245 Am, 245 Cm, 245 Bk, 245 Cf), 2011Me01 ( 245 Es), and 2013Th02 ( 245 Md, 245 Fm).

Nuclear Structure and Decay Data for A=44 Isobars

Experimental nuclear spectroscopic data are evaluated for 12 known nuclides of mass number A=44 (Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn). Detailed evaluated information are presented for each reaction and decay. Recommended values combining all available data are provided for all spectroscopic properties of each level, γ-ray, and decay radiation. No excited states have yet been identified in 44 Si, 44 P, 44 Cr, and 44 Mn. Information for excited states in 44 Cl and 44 V are limited. Nuclides of 44 S, 44 Ar and 44 K have been studied via only a few reactions and decays, while 44 Ca, 44 Sc and 44 Ti are the most investigated nuclides through various reactions and decays. Evaluators note that the half-life of the g.s. of 44 S has been measured independently, with fairly good statistics, in three references, most precise being 100 ms 1 by 2004Gr20, but this value is in disagreement with the values of 125.5 ms 25 and 119 ms 6 by 2022Tr03, and 123 ms 10 by 1995So03. We adopted the unweighted average of this discrepant dataset. Another outstanding issue is that of the β + -delayed proton decay of 44 Cr g.s. to 44 V, where the T=2, 0 + IAS state in 44 V is expected to be strongly populated by a superallowed β transition, but has not been definitely identified as discussed in detail by 2020Fu05. A detailed study of 44 Cr decay is required to unravel the status of the T=2, 0 + IAS state in 44 V. Furthermore, this work supersedes earlier ENSDF evaluations of A=44 by 2011Ch39 and 1999Ca45.

Nuclear Structure and Decay Data for A=165 Isobars

Experimental nuclear spectroscopic data are compiled and evaluated for 18 known nuclides of mass 165 (Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt). Detailed information is presented for each reaction and decay experiment. Combining all the available data, recommended values are provided for energies, spins and parities, and half-lives of levels, with energies, branching ratios and multipolarities of γ radiations, and characteristics of β and α radiations in radioactive decays. 165 Dy, 165 Ho, 165 Er, 165 Tm, 165 Yb, 165 Lu and 165 Hf are among the most extensively studied nuclides via decay and high-spin gamma-ray spectroscopy measurements, followed by limited data for 165 Tb, 165 Ta, 165 W, 165 Re, and 165 Os. No excited states have yet been identified in 165 Sm, 165 Gd, and 165 Pt, while for 165 Eu and 165 Ir, information is available for only the g.s. and an isomer, but with no γ rays. As a result, this work supersedes earlier evaluation of A=165 nuclides by 2006Ja09.

Smooth trends in fermium charge radii and the impact of shell effects

The quantum-mechanical nuclear-shell structure determines the stability and limits of the existence of the heaviest nuclides with large proton numbers Z ≳ 100. Shell effects also affect the sizes and shapes of atomic nuclei, as shown by laser spectroscopy studies in lighter nuclides. However, experimental information on the charge radii and the nuclear moments of the heavy actinide elements, which link the heaviest naturally abundant nuclides with artificially produced superheavy elements, is sparse. Here we present laser spectroscopy measurements along the fermium (Z = 100) isotopic chain and an extension of data in the nobelium isotopic chain (Z = 102) across a key region. Multiple production schemes and different advanced techniques were applied to determine the isotope shifts in atomic transitions, from which changes in the nuclear mean-square charge radii were extracted. A range of nuclear models based on energy density functionals reproduce well the observed smooth evolution of the nuclear size. Both the remarkable consistency of model prediction and the similarity of predictions for different isotopes suggest a transition to a regime in which shell effects have a diminished effect on the size compared with lighter nuclei.

Cross sections of 147–149 Sm( 6 Li,x) reactions for the production of 149 Tb for targeted alpha therapy

Terbium-149g (t 1/2 = 4.12 h) is of particular interest for targeted alpha therapy cancer treatment due to its ability to decay via both alpha and positron emission, making it a potential theranostic nuclide. Due to many challenges facing its production, there are limited facilities worldwide that have demonstrated the ability to produce this nuclide in quantities sufficient for medical research. Since the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University is a specialized accelerator facility capable of accelerating a wide variety of ions, we are investigating production pathway options. One of the major challenges facing its production is the known co-production of the excited isomeric state, 149m Tb (t 1/2 = 4.1 min). However, this state does not decay to the ground state of 149g Tb, negating any potential contribution to its yield. Due to its short-half life, the cross section for the population of this state has never been measured. After calculating several potential reaction yields using predictive models, the reactions of 147–149 Sm( 6 Li,xn) 149 Tb were identified as candidates. Lithium-6 beams of varied energies between 45-65 MeV were impinged on enriched 147 Sm, 148 Sm, and 149 Sm targets at the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University, and the reaction products were measured immediately following irradiation using high-purity germanium detectors, enabling detection of both 149m Tb and 149g Tb. Cross sections for all nuclides produced in sufficient activity in these reactions were also measured and reported here. We conclude that the population of 149m Tb is much preferred over population of the ground state for these 6 Li-induced reactions, and it is necessary to explore other options for 149g Tb production.

TOFHunter—unlocking rapid untargeted screening of inductively coupled plasma–time-of-flight–mass spectrometry data

This study provides an overview of a newly developed open source program written in Python, TOFHunter, which permits the rapid and untargeted screening of inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-time-of-flight (TOF)-mass spectrometry (MS) datasets. ICP-TOF-MS is an analytical tool capable of providing quasi simultaneous detection of all nuclides from Li to Pu. This capability has triggered an increase in studies investigating single-particle analysis in which the TOF-MS provides correlated elemental/isotopic signatures on a particle basis in time. Similarly, laser ablation mapping has seen rapid growth owing to ICP-TOF-MS's capacity to handle fast washout times (<10 ms) while providing a broad nuclide coverage. The caveat to this broad mass coverage and high time resolution comes in the form of large, overwhelming datasets. With datasets typically on the scale of gigabytes, it is easy for a user to only focus on very targeted analytes; however, this focus diminishes the opportunity offered by the TOF-MS detector. TOFHunter applies chemometric methods, principal component analysis (PCA), and interesting features finder (IFF) on ICP-TOF-MS data, allowing for investigation of correlations, major and minor variance sources, and sample screening. The unique spectra identified by the (IFF) are used to generate a list of mass peaks, which are then matched with both nuclides and potential interferences before being exported for the user to investigate. Several case studies are discussed herein, demonstrating TOFHunter's ability to screen aqueous injections, single-particle/single-cell analysis, and probe laser ablation mapping files for unique regions of interest.
