Np-237 samples were irradiated with spallation neutrons produced at the ADS setup QUINTA. Six experiments were carried out at the JINR, in Dubna – one in carbon (C6+), three in deuteron, and two in proton beams. The energy in carbon was 24 GeV, in deuteron – 2, 4 and 8 GeV, respectively, and 660 MeV in the proton beam. In five cases the sample was located in a side window in a lead shield. In one case (660 MeV proton beam) two samples were located on the top of the QUINTA setup, one – on the top of section 2, and the second one – on the top of section 4. The transmutation study method was based on gamma-ray spectrometry. During the analysis of the spectra several fission products and one actinide were identified. Fission product activities yielded the number of fissions. The actinide (Np-238), a result of neutron capture by Np-237, yielded the number of captures. The main goal of this work was to find out if and how the transmutation rate depended on the accelerator beam and sample location during the irradiation.

Am-241 sample was irradiated in spallation neutrons produced in ADS setup QUINTA at the JINR in Dubna. The energy was 660 MeV in the proton beam. The incineration study method was based on gamma-ray spectrometry. During the analysis of the spectra, several fission products were identified. Fission product activities yielded the number of fissions. Nevertheless, the lines are assumed to belong to the neutron capture product covered by parasitic Np-238 decay lines. The Np-238 lines as a result of neutron capture by Np-237 made impossible to determine the number of captures in Am-241.

Abstract Neptunium-237 samples were irradiated in a spallation neutron field produced in accelerator-driven system (ADS) setup QUINTA. Five experiments were carried out on the accelerators at the JINR in Dubna - one in carbon (C6+), three in deuteron, and one in a proton beam. The energy in carbon was 24 GeV, in deuteron 2, 4 and 8 GeV, respectively, and 660 MeV in the proton beam. The incineration study method was based on gamma-ray spectrometry. During the analysis of the spectra several fission products and one actinide were identified. Fission product activities yielded the number of fissions. The actinide (Np-238), a result of neutron capture by Np-237, yielded the number of captures. The main goal of this work was to find out if and how the incineration rate depended on parameters of the accelerator beam.

Dados digitais de um aerolevantamento gamaespectrométrico cobrindo seqüência crustal Neoproterozóica da Faixa Seridó (FSe) foram processados e analisados juntamente com medidas de gamaespectrometria terrestre, fotos aéreas e dados geológicos de campo, objetivando a caracterização e o mapeamento litogeofísico de granitos pegmatíticos e campos de pegmatitos associados, bem como de litologias e unidades litoestratigráficas do Grupo Seridó. A interpretação das imagens individuais e ternária dos canais do urânio (eU), do tório (eTh) e do potássio (K), além das razões eU/eTh e eTh/K, possibilitou a identificação de anomalias de tório associadas a metaconglomerados e metarenitos intercalados nos quartzitos da Formação Equador, constituídos de fragmentos e seixos de quartzo, muscovita e concentrações de minerais pesados, dominantemente hematita, ilmenita, monazita, rutilo, titanita e zircão. A análise semiquantitativa em grãos minerais de duas amostras dessas rochas, por microscopia de varredura eletrônica (MEV-EDS), revelou teores máximos de 79,4% de ThO2 e 87,7% de ETR (Ce, La, Nd) em monazitas; 99,2% de TiO2 em ilmenita e rutilo e 1,81 % de Hf02 em zircão. Também foram identificadas anomalias de tório em sedimentos de idade cenozóica na mesma região.Keywords : gamaespectrometria; sensoriamento remoto; placeres rutilo-monazíticos; Província Borborema; Faixa Seridó.ABSTRACTAerial gamma-ray survey data covering Neoproterozoic supracrustal sequences in the Seridó Belt were processed and analyzed together with ground gamma-ray data, air photos and geological data for lithogeophysical characterization and mapping of granitic rocks, related pegmatites fields and lithological units of Seridó Group. Interpretation was based on individual and ternary images of the three radio-elements and the eU/eTh and eTh/K ratios, and allowed the discovery of thorium anomalies associated with coarse-grained metarenites and metaconglomerates facies intercalated with quartzites of the Equador Formation. High contents of iron oxides, ilmenite, monazite, rutile, titanite and zircon were identified by ore microscopy of polished sections in the metaconglomerate's matrix. Semiquantitative scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses in minerals of two samples revealed up to 79.4% of Th02 and 87.7% of REE in monazites; up to 99.2% of Ti02 in ilmenite and rutile and up to 1.81 % of HfO2 in zircon. Gamma-ray anomalies due to thorium were also identified in association with sediments of Cenozoic age in the region.Keywords : gamma-ray spectrometry; remote sensing; rutile-monazite placers; Borborema Province; Seridó Belt.

AbstractIn the frame of a systematic study of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on all elements, activation cross sections on $$^{\mathrm {nat}}$$ nat Se were investigated. Excitation functions were measured up to 50 MeV particle energy for production of $$^{\mathrm {82}}$$ 82 Br(m$$+)$$ + ) ,$$^{\mathrm {80m}}$$ 80 m Br, $$^{\mathrm {77}}$$ 77 Br(m$$+)$$ + ) ,$$^{\mathrm {76}}$$ 76 Br(m$$+)$$ + ) , $$^{\mathrm {75}}$$ 75 Br, $$^{\mathrm {75}}$$ 75 Se(cum), $$^{\mathrm {73}}$$ 73 Se(cum), $$^{\mathrm {76}}$$ 76 As,$$^{\mathrm {74}}$$ 74 As, $$^{\mathrm {73}}$$ 73 As(cum), $$^{\mathrm {72}}$$ 72 As and $$^{\mathrm {71}}$$ 71 As(cum) by using the activation method through stacked foil irradiation followed by off-line gamma-ray spectrometry. The experimental results were compared to the earlier experimental data and to excitation functions calculated with the ALICE-D and EMPIRE-D theoretical model codes and data given in the TENDL-2019 on-line library based on TALYS calculations.
