Gamma rays from thermal neutron capture in gold

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and nuclei

Abstract

The thermal column of the 10 kW University of Maryland pool reactor was used as the neutron source for this nuclear spectroscopy study. A 40 cm3 lithium drifted germanium crystal was the gamma (γ) ray detector used to measure the high energy prompt photon emissions from thermal neutron capture. The energy region was from 2.6–7.0 MeV. New capture gamma ray lines were observed.
