“…The 19 F(p, αγ) 16 O reaction is used in many areas, from detector [1,2] and dosimeter [3,4] calibration to non destructive analysis of fluorine trace with PIGE [5,6]. It was noted by many authors [7,8,9,10,11,12] that the available data as reaction cross section, photon yields, resonance energies are insufficient and in some cases inconsistent.…”

The 6.1, 6.9 and 7.1 MeV photon yields in the reaction with protons in the 1.32 to 1.42 MeV energy range were determined from the comparison between experimental and simulated spectrum. The gamma-ray spectra were measured with a HPGe detector which was 72.5 mm in diameter and 60.5 mm in length. The reaction kinematics and the detector response function were simulated by different programs using the Monte Carlo method. The relative photon yields were obtained from the least-squares fit of the experimental gamma-ray spectra to the convolution of the detector response function with the photon energy distribution arising from the reaction kinematics.
