摘要

Controlled release of the energy stored in nuclear isomers is very attractive for producing powerful sources of induced gamma-ray radiation. High-energy nuclear isomers can have very long lifetimes of the order of years and thus they can serve as good energy storage media. For instance, 1 mg of the 178m2Hf isomer stores about 1 MJ as excitation energy of the isomeric state. One of the most promising ways to release the energy stored in the isomeric state involves photonuclear reactions in the energy range of soft X-rays. Photons with energies lower than 20 keV can excite the 178m2Hf isomeric state to an intermediate level from which gamma transitions cascade to lower levels with a decay rate much faster than the rate of spontaneous decay of the isomeric state. In this work, the photoexcitation of 178m2Hf by (γ, γ) reactions at low energies was studied by nuclear spectroscopy methods. The experimental arrangement was based on the coincident detection of gamma photons with four large HPGe detectors. A bremsstrahlung X-ray generator was used as excitation source, which covered a continuous energy-range from 0 to 60 keV. The interpretation of the experimental results shows that the decay of the 178m2Hf isomer can be triggered by X-rays at a power on the order of only mW/cm 2. The analysis of the gamma-gamma coincidence data has revealed that during X-ray irradiations, a line of 129.5 keV was found in coincidence with the 213.4 keV ground state band (GSB) transition. The 129.5 keV line has not been previously observed and is not a known transition of the spontaneous decay of 178m2Hf. The 129.5 keV gamma transition must be a member of a sequence of gamma transitions that bypasses most of the normal decay cascade populated by spontaneous decay. This result leads to a deeper understanding of the (γ, γ) reactions at low energies. These photonuclear reactions are of special interest because of the importance of possible practical applications. The studies of the decay of nuclear isomers induced by X-rays should be seen in a larger perspective of the development of new controlled sources of incoherent gamma-radiation and they could also mean a significant progress for the development of a gamma-ray laser.
