THE USE AND 'TESTING' OF Al, Fe, Ni, Cu, AND Pb SECONDARY GAMMA-RAY PRODUCTION DATA SETS FROM THE POPOP4 LIBRARY,

Abstract

Aluminum, iron, nickel, copper, and lead secondary gamma-ray yield data sets for gamma-rays resulting from neutron capture and inelastic scattering reactions were evaluated by comparing calculated secondary gamma-ray pulse height spectra with spectra measured at the Tower Shielding Facility. The calculated spectra were obtained by using a discrete ordinates transport code to calculate the secondary gamma-ray angular flux resulting from the exposure of slabs of the materials of interest to bare, cadmium-filtered, boron-filtered, and 'thermal' neutron beams from the TSR-II reactor and then folding the angular flux into pulse height spectra.
