Abstract

The prompt gamma-rays 1219-keV35Cl p/1, O/ and the 1763-keV35Cl p/2, O/ induced by 5 MeV protons were measured during irradiation of 15 pure chlorine compounds of known composition. Stopping powers of target materials were calculated from tables and the use of the Bragg-Kleeman rule. Apparent discrepancies in the measured yields could point to deviations from the Bragg-Kleeman rule and hence to molecular effects. The value of any molecular effects was found to be ≤7.9%.
