Abstract

The measurements of X-ray production cross-sections for 0.5~1.2-MeV proton beam are carried out on Cu and Au. For this experiment, the proton tram generated from the SNU 1.5-MV Tandem Van do Graaff accelerator is Incident on the target. The X-rays and the backscattered protons from the irradiated target are detected simultaneously by the Si(Li) X-ray detector and the SSB (Silicone Surface Barrier) charged particle detector The measured values of X-ray production cross-sections are compared with other experimental values and theoretical values such as the PWBA (Plane Wave Born Approximation) and the ECPSSR(Perturbed Stationary State corrected Energy loss, Coulomb deflection, Relativistic effects) values. For measured cross-sections near 1.0- MeV proton energy, the ECPSSR (D.D. Cohenet al., 1985) shows better agreement than the PWBA. Particularly, that of Au for 1.2 MeV proton beam is 9.69$\pm$ 0.39 barns which deviates from the ECPSSR by less than 5%. and the experimental data for 0.5~1.2- MeV proton agree with most of other experimental values within 30%.

0.5~l.2-MeV 양성자빔에 대한 X-선 발생단면적의 측정을 Cu와 Au에 대해 수행하였다. 이 실험에서는 SNU 1.5-MV 탄뎀 반데그라프 가속기에서 얻은 양성자빔을 표적에 입사시켰다. 여기서 방출된 X-선과 후방산란된 양성자는 Si(Li) X-선 검출기와 SSB(Silicone Surface Barrier) 하전입자 검출기를 이용해 동시 측정하였다. 그리하여 측정된 X-선 발생단면적은 다른 실험치들 및 PWBA(Plane Wave Born Approximation)와 ECPSSR(Perturbed Stationary State corrected Energy loss, Coulomb deflection, Relativistic effects)인 이론치들과 비교하였다. 1.0-MeV근처의 양성자에너지에 대해 측정치는 PWBA 값보다는 ECPSSR(D.D. Cohen et al., 1985) 값에 더 잘 일치함을 보였다. 특히, Au의 측정치는 1.2-MeV 양성자빔에 대해 9.69$\pm$0.39 bams이었고, ECPSSR 이론치와는 5% 이내로 일치했으며, 0.5~l.2-MeV 양성자에 대한 실험치는 대부분의 다른 실험치들과 30% 이내로 일치했다.
