Title in Portuguese
Determinação da taxa de desintegração e das probabilidades de emissão Gama por decaimento do 182Ta
Keywords in Portuguese
espectroscopia gama
Padronização
Tantalo-182
Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho foi desenvolvido o método para a padronização de fontes de 182Ta produzidas no reator de pesquisas IEA-R1 do IPEN. O 182Ta decai com uma meia-vida de 114 dias pelo decaimento -, populando os níveis excitados do182W. São emitidos raios gamas de várias energias entre 31 keV e 264 keV e entre 1001 keV e 1453 keV. As medidas foram realizadas em um sistema de coincidência 4 utilizando a técnica da extrapolação linear da eficiência. O sistema de coincidência é composto de um contador proporcional 4 acoplado a um cristal de NaI(Tl). As medidas foram realizadas selecionando dois intervalos de energias na via gama, a fim de verificar a consistência dos resultados. Um cálculo utilizando o método de Monte Carlo que prevê o comportamento da atividade observada em função da eficiência do detector 4(PC) foi utilizado. Os resultados foram comparados com os valores experimentais. As probabilidades de emissão gama mais intensas do 182Ta foram determinadas por meio de um espectrômetro gama de HPGe, a curva de eficiência do espectrômetro de germânio foi obtida por meio da utilização de fontes de 152Eu, 241Am, 60Co, 133Ba e 166mHo, padronizadas em sistema primário. As incertezas envolvidas nas medidas foram tratadas pela metodologia de covariância. Os resultados obtidos são concordantes dentro da incerteza experimental com valores encontrados na literatura.

Abstract in English
In this work the procedure developed for the standardization of 182Ta sources produced by irradiation at the IPEN IEA-R1 research reactor is presented. The 182Ta decays with a half-life of 114 days by emission, populating the excited levels of 182W. It emits gamma rays with several energies mainly between 31 keV and 264 keV and between 1001 keV and 1453 keV. The measurements were performed in a 4 coincidence system by using the extrapolation technique. The coincidence system is composed of a 4 proportional counter coupled to a NaI(Tl) cristal. The measurements were undertaken selecting two windows in the -channel, in order to check the consistency of the results. A Monte Carlo calculation was performed in order to predict the behavior of the observed activity as a function of the 4 detector efficiency and the results were compared to experimental values. The most intense gamma-ray emission probabilities of 182 Ta were determined by means of an HPGe gamma spectrometer, the germanium efficiency curve was obtained by using sources 152Eu, 241Am, 60Co, 133Ba and 166mHo standardized in a primary system. The uncertainties involved in the measurements were treated by the covariance methodology. The results obtained are in good agreement with the experimental uncertainty compared with literature values.
