Measurement of neutron induced activation of the SCT end-cap module

Results of the experimental study of the induced radioactivity generated by neutron irradiation in the semiconductor tracker end-cap module are presented. The purpose of the experiment was to identify the radioisotopes produced in the module by neutron interactions. The irradiation was done in the active zone of the VR-1 CTU Prague reactor. The identification and quantification of radioisotopes were based on detailed analysis of gamma-ray spectra, which were measured with a HPGe-detector. The nuclear processes of all 26 observed radioisotopes and their activities at the end of the irradiation were determined.
