20g Rhenium
New Cube Moderator (optimized with foil experiment and simulations - viewtopic.php?f=13&t=14087&p=92182)
Activated for 1 minute @ >1E+8 n/sec TIER
Dual Pancake Probe Test Setup
2x Ludlum Model 3 with 44-9 Probes
2x Canberra 814A PAD
Ortec 874 Quad Counter
Time (s)....Rhenium.....Background
300..........475...........212
1800.........2793.........1366
The gamma spec shows one distinct peak above the background at 64KeV, meaning it's Re-188m (1.3 barns). There might be a small peak at 155KeV (Re-188), but I would need to activate the sample more.
