THE LRL CAPTURE-GAMMA COINCIDENCE SPECTROMETER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4782268
A fast-slow coincidence scintillation spectrometer for gamma-- gamma cascade measurements following thermal neutron absorption in nuclei is in operation at the Livermore 1-megawatt pool-type reactor. Design features of the spectrometer and experimental techniques in its use are discussed with particular emphasis on the application of the recently introduced sum-coincidence method for analysis of capture-gamma double cascades. A technique for the determination of added neutron binding energy is presented and various types of coincidence data from appropriate experiments are illustrated. (auth)
