Gamma Energy Evaluation for Creation of Cd-111(sub m), In-113(sub m), and In-115(sub m) IsotopesNASA Glenn Research Center is investigating nuclear reactions in deuterated materials exposed to bremsstrahlung photons with kinetic energies from 1-3MeV. Recent experiments used a continuous beam Dynamitron electron accelerator with a braking target. Electron beam energy loss verication was desired and experiments using cadmium and indium were completed which are known to transition to excited metastable states after exposure to bremsstrahlung photons. The gamma spin-up of Cd-111, In-113, and In-115 are with photon beam energies of 1017keV, 1024keV, and 941keV respectively. Recent tests corroborated published gamma energies using a beam energy loss of 62 to 74keV.
