Measurements of Secondary Gamma-Ray Production Cross Sections for ^natFe, ⁵¹V, ^natMo, ^natZr, ^natNi and ¹⁸¹Ta with Hp-Ge Detector Induced by DT Neutrons

Abstract

Secondary gamma-ray production cross sections for ^natFe, ⁵¹V, ^natMo, ^nalZr, ^natNi and ¹⁸¹Ta induced by DT neutrons have been measured with an Hp-Ge detector at OKTAVIAN , the Intense 14MeV Neutron Source Facility of Osaka University, Japan. A new method to analyze the measured spectrum was proposed to yield the continuum component of the gamma-ray production cross section. The measured data were compared with the theoretical calculation results with SINCROS- II and evaluated nuclear data.
