Comments on extracting the resonance strength parameter from yield data

α-particle induced yield of 6.13 MeV γ-rays in carbon

“…The overall uncertainty for the 1.3325 MeV line from 60 Co was about 0.8%. The relative efficiency was extended above 10 MeV using a variety of thermal neutron capture γ-spectra (principally Cl, N, Ti) generated at the Badger facility off the UKAEA Harwell DIDO reactor [4,5]. Polynomial fitting weighted by the inverse of the independent variances was used to estimate the 6129 MeV to 1.3325 MeV efficiency ratio with an uncertainty of about 4.5 %.…”
