Fast neutron induced gamma rays from (n,n’), (n,p) and (n,α) reactions on CaCO3

Abstract: Emission of prompt gamma rays following (n,n’), (n,p) and (n,α) reactions induced by irradiation of a calcium carbonate (CaCO3) sample with a beam of fission neutrons was investigated with a modified version of the FaNGaS (Fast Neutron-induced Gamma-ray Spectrometry) instrument operated at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching. The neutron spectrum has an average energy of 2.30 MeV and at sample position the fast neutron flux was (1.13 ± 0.04) × 108 cm−2 s−1. The measurement was performed at an an… Show more

“…Here, the value of B E was extracted from the beam background spectrum measured with the new version of the FaNGaS instrument [3] which delivers a fast neutron flux at sample position of 1.13 × 10 8 cm −2 s −1 . In this case, the smallest amounts of nickel and zirconium that can be detected are 0.7 mg and 1.4 mg, respectively.…”

“…The FaNGaS (Fast Neutron induced Gamma-ray Spectrometry) instrument [1][2][3] installed at Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) offers the possibility to perform non-destructive elemental analysis of samples of various sizes origins by means of Prompt Gamma Analysis based on Inelastic Neutron Scattering PGAINS as we are going to call the method from now on. This analytical technique focuses on the measurement of prompt gamma radiation emitted from inelastic scattering of fission neutrons, i.e.…”
