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...

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:: 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...
