| Summary: | CEA/Cadarache operates the MADERE facility dedicated to measuring the activity of radionuclides generated during the irradiation of specific dosimeters made of hyper-pure materials. This facility is equipped with seven spectrometers, two of which are dedicated to the detection of radionuclides that emit X-rays. The laboratory that operates the MADERE facility processes solid-state rhodium and niobium dosimeters, which emit X-rays of 20 keV and 16 keV respectively. In recent years, there have been significant improvements in nuclear decay data, leading to better measurement of these two X-ray emitters. A joint LDCI and LNHB thesis, defended in 2018, produced major advances (for example self-attenuation corrections for 93mNb and 103mRh). The most significant achievements and outlooks are presented in this paper for the both niobium and rhodium dosimeters. |
