The13 C(p, γ)14 N resonance reaction was used to generate high energy and mono-energetic γ-rays in this work. The thick-target yield of the 9.17-MeV γ-ray from the resonance in this reaction was determined to be(4.7±0.4)×10-9γ/proton,which was measured by a HPGe detector. Meanwhile, the angular distribution of 9.17-MeV γ-ray was also determined.The absolute efficiency of HPGe detector was calibrated using56 Co and152 Eu sources with known radioactive activities and calculated by GEANT4 simulation.展开更多

The photonuclear reaction 197Au(γ, n) is known as a standard for studies on photoactivation experiments. The previous experiments on 197Au(γ, n) have been performed with bremsstrahlung, positron annihilation in flight or laser Compton scattering γ-ray.In this work, a new mono-energetic γ-ray source based on 13C(p,γ)^14N reaction is used to measure the cross section of 197Au(γ, n) and the measured value is compared with the results obtained with other ways.展开更多
