Abstract

A Doppler broadening is described of the 4438 keV spectral gamma-line observed by means of a Ge(Li) detector during the deexcitation of nuclei of12C in an inelastic scattering12C(n, n′γ)12C using an241Am−Be source as well as during the reaction9Be(α, nγ)12C taking place in the Am−Be source. The FWHM of the spectral line is equal to (90±4) keV in the latter reaction and (64±8) keV in the former process. Experimental values agree well with theoretical ones.
