Prompt gamma rays of neodymium from the (n,n´γ)- reaction with fission neutrons
Abstract Prompt gamma-ray emission generated by the (n,n′γ) reaction during irradiation of a NdCl 3 sample with fission neutrons was studied with the instrument fast neutron-induced gamma-ray spectrometry (FaNGaS) at Heinz Maier–Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ). We present relative intensities and production cross sections for 111 identified gamma lines of neodymium. The results participate to extend and enhance literature on nuclear data. The detection limit of neodymium is 2.1 mg for a measuring time of 12 h.
