Production of layers of the radioactive nuclei in the graphite matrix using high energy ion beams

Production of Layers of the Radioactive Nuclei in the Graphite Matrix Using High Energy Ion Beams This paper explores conditions needed to create layers of radioactive nuclei in a graphite matrix using high-energy ion microbeams, specifically – creating a layer of 7Be in nuclear graphite using 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction. The theoretical evaluation was followed by an experiment – implanting 26 keV energy 7Li ions into one surface of the graphite sample and then irradiating it using 2 MeV energy protons. The activity of 7Be and 13N in the graphite sample was determined using gamma spectroscopy
