Abstract

CHAVEZ, E et al. Secondary gamma-ray detection a powerful technique for low nuclear cross section studies. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2007, vol.53, suppl.3, pp.82-86. ISSN 0035-001X.

The experimental nuclear astrophysics program at the "Instituto de Física de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México" (IFUNAM) motivated the development of laboratory techniques: gamma detection, gamma-background reduction (cosmic and environmental) and the important summing correction. In this work the detection of gamma-rays as a secondary product of the reaction under study is presented in detail as a powerful technique for deducing reaction cross sections.

Keywords : Gamma detection; summing effect; nuclear reactions.
