Experiences on the application of the sum-coincidence method

Journal Article · · Nuclear Instruments and Methods
For the study of cascade gamma -processes, the Hoogenboom sum- coincidence method makes possible the detection of transitions of very low intensity, and possesses advantages for measurements of angular correlation as well. In the sum-coincidence spectrum, false peaks or background levels of a certain height may appear in part of the discrimination region. This is partly due to instrumental reasons, partly to the characteristics of the method itself, and it depends on the properties of the decay scheme under study.
