Abstract

The gamma ray energies of nearly all radionuclides formed by reactor neutron irradiation have been determined using high resolution Ge(Li) spectrometry. The re-producibility of the determinations is demonstrated and, to estimate the accuracy of the measurements, the results are compared with those of other investigators. In the energy range from 80 to about 1400 keV the accuracy for the most abundant gamma rays is better than 0.2 keV. The energies of gamma transitions above 1400 KeV may be less accurate. The data are compiled in an atomic number and in a photon energy sequence. A table of characteristic X-rays is also included. The tables are intended to be helpful in the identification of isotopes in neutron activation analysis.
