HIGH-RESOLUTION GAMMA-RAY SPECTROSCOPY STUDY

Abstract

In the laboratory program, runs have just been completed with the newly acquired Pu239 targets for bombardments with thermal neutrons and with neutrons of energies 0.050, 0.419, 5 and 15.4 MeV. For U235 additional gamma-ray spectra have been measured as a function of time for neutron bombardments at the following energies: thermal, 0.050, 0.419, 0.521, 0.618, 0.713, 0.810, 0.904 and 0.998 MeV. A preliminary analysis of the foregoing data has been performed with the objective of finding gamma-ray lines which exhibit significant variations in production rate with neutron energy and/or target isotope.
