Determination of k0 and related nuclear data for short-lived radionuclides to be used in KAYZERO-NAA at DSM research

In order to further enhance at DSM research the capabilities and competitiveness of NAA (especially via short-time k0–NAA supported by the KAYZERO/SOLCOI© PC-software package) as a key analytical technique, in the present work experimental measurements and evaluations have been carried out of k0 and related nuclear data for 10 analytically important (n,γ) reactions leading to short-lived radionuclides: 20F, 71Zn, 77mSe, 80Br, 104Rh, 109mPd, 110Ag, 124m1Sb, 179mHf and 205Hg. For 80Br, 104Rh and 124m1Sb, the branched activation/decay mechanism was taken into account.
