Creator:: Hager, Werner W., IV
Abstract:: When a nucleus is in an excited state, it will decay to lower energy by emitting photons. Often there are several intermediate stages in a decay cascade. Occasionally the photons in a cascade will be emitted in coincidence. This will be resolved by the detector not as two distinct photons,...

Creator:: Lambert, Miriam
Abstract:: In this project we measure the neutron capture cross section of ²⁰⁸Pb. We began by calibrating our silicon detector with ²⁰⁴Tl. Two experiments were then performed, the first in December of 1999 and the second in March of 2000. Both experiments were performed in the nuclear reactor of the Radiation...

Creator:: Keck, Mason L.
Abstract:: A spectral fitting routine was developed to analyze X-ray emissions in neutron capture decay processes that produce ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt. Through correcting for X-ray emissions, the 77.3 keV γ gamma ray intensities were analyzed. The thermal cross sections for the production of ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt were found to be 2088...

Creator:: Dearmon, Howard D.
Abstract:: The thermal cross sections and resonance integrals for neutron capture by ⁷⁴,⁷⁸,⁸⁰,⁸²Se were measured using the same procedure and equipment for all of the isotopes. Uncertainty and absence of accurate previous values for several isotopes introduces a need of measuring these parameters using similar techniques. This was done using OSU’s...

Creator:: Gicking, Allison
Abstract:: The neutron capture cross sections of ¹⁰⁶Cd, ¹⁰⁸Cd, ¹¹⁰Cd, ¹¹²Cd, ¹¹⁴Cd and ¹¹⁶Cd were determined in the present project. Four different OSU TRIGA reactor facilities were used to produce redundancy in the results and to measure the thermal cross section and resonance integral separately. When the present values were compared...
