Measurement of Angular Distributions of Gamma Rays from the Inelastic Scattering of 14.1-MeV Neutrons by Carbon and Oxygen Nuclei

Abstract

The results obtained by measuring the angular and energy distributions of gamma rays originating from the inelastic scattering of 14.1-MeV neutrons by carbon and oxygen nuclei are presented. The measurements in question were performed by the tagged-neutron method in a beam of an ING-27 standard portable neutron generator. The angular distributions of gamma rays emitted by the 2+ state of 12С at 4.43 MeVand the 3− state of 16O at 6.13 MeV were obtained.
