Gamma-Gamma Angular Correlation in the Decay of Colbalt-60

Abstract

This is a continuation of the work of assembling and testing the equipment necessary to conduct gamma-gamma angular correlation experiments, started by Fort A. Verser, Jr. at the US Naval Postgraduate School. A rerun of the Cobalt-60 experiment was made to confirm the results obtained in the previous work. A comparison of the previous work confirms that there is a definite distortion in the shape of the observed correlation function. The statistical analysis of the data and the solid angle corrections required for evaluation of the results have been programmed for calculation by use of the 1604 Digital Computer. These programs are outlined in detail.
