During the past few decades, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has made significant investments to improve nuclear data libraries, as the quality of this data impacts nearly all analyses of nuclear systems. Nuclear fission product yields are one component of these libraries, and are important for the analysis of...
Gamma-gamma directional correlations were measured
in Ba¹³⁴ at ten angles between 90 degrees and 180 degrees in ten
degree increments using a scintillation spectrometer. The spectrometer
which used NaI crystals, differential energy selection,
and standard coincidence techniques was tested by measuring the
directional correlation of the two cascade gamma rays...
