This paper proposes a new method, named the scattering and absorbing method, to diagnose the 6.13 MeV Gamma. This method includes two parts: the detector and a scatterer placed in front of the detector. The detector converts the Gamma to electrons and then collects the electrons by a scintillator. In order to restrain the interference of the low-energy background, the scintillator collects the electrons at a small angle. The scintillator is wrapped with electro-absorbing material to absorb the low-energy electrons generated by background x-rays. The theoretical sensitivity ratio of 6.13 MeV Gamma to 1 MeV x-rays is greater than 150. The scatterer is a pretreatment tool to scatter some background x-rays away from the radial beam before they enter the detector. By varying the length, the scatterer can reduce the background x-rays to an acceptable level for the detector.展开更多

It is shown that the measured data are true and reliable. In the paper,the transformation between the excited energy spectra of the12 C +12C system and the ground state energy spectra of the12 C + p system is introduced. The method of subtraction of the hydrogen background in the natural carbon target used in the experiment is elaborately described and the results are discussed. It is indicated that this method of subtraction of hydrogen background is reasonable and can be used in the data analysis. Based on the elastic scattering cross section of the previous experiment of12C+p at 95.3A MeV, the hydrogen content entered into the reaction is analyzed. The final hydrogen content in the natural carbon target is(2.73 ± 0.12)%.展开更多
