X-Rays from Fission

Abstract

The report describes the activities pursued during the first six months of the second year contract X-Rays from Fission. The main effort during this part of the contract is to analyze and write-up the research work done using the 252 Cf source. This work involved (X-ray, X-ray) coincidence measurements and (X-ray, gamma-ray) coincidence measurements. The results found in the (X-ray, X-ray) work was in some ways unexpected and we have conjectured that the high correlation of self X-ray coincidences occur due to internal conversion cascading.
