Area of Science:

  • Nuclear physics
  • Atomic physics
  • Computational physics

Background:

  • Accurate radiation spectra are crucial for dosimetry and medical imaging.
  • Existing models may not fully capture complex electron transition processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To calculate the radiation spectra of 111In, 113In, and 114mIn.
  • To compare two methods for calculating transition energies and their impact on electron emission spectra.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Monte Carlo program IMRDEC for spectral calculations.
  • Employed EADL data and the Kassis rule for relaxation probabilities.
  • Calculated transition energies using both a simple (Z + 1)/Z scheme and relativistic Dirac equations.

Main Results:

  • The simple (Z + 1)/Z scheme with extended relaxation probabilities generated numerous low-energy Auger and CK electrons.
  • Solving Dirac equations with realistic electron vacancies rejected most of these low-energy electron emissions.
  • Significant differences in calculated spectra were observed between the two energy calculation schemes.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate calculation of transition energies considering realistic electron vacancies is essential for precise radiation spectra.
  • The choice of calculation method significantly impacts the predicted low-energy electron emission spectrum.
  • This work refines computational methods for nuclear decay radiation analysis.
