Gamma cascades in gadolinium isotopes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract The compound nucleus model is employed to calculate the $$\gamma $$ γ decay after neutron capture by gadolinium isotopes $$^{155}$$ 155 Gd and $$^{157}$$ 157 Gd. respective cascades are analyzed for possible use in rare-event searches like $$0\nu \beta 0 ν β as neutron-veto energies range from 0.1 keV 10 MeV.

متن کاملe ± Pair Cascades and Precursors in Gamma-Ray Bursts
Gamma-ray burst sources with a high luminosity can produce electron-positron pair cascades in their environment as a result of back-scattering of a seed fraction of their original hard spectrum. The resulting spectral modifications offer the possibility of diagnosing not only the compactness parameter of the γ-ray emitting region but also the baryonic density of the environment external to the ...

متن کاملNeutron conversion efficiency and gamma interference with gadolinium
Gadolinium (Gd) neutron capture plays an important role in both Gd neutron capture therapy and neutron detection. Detailed information about the lowenergy electron spectrum emitted after Gd neutron capture is essential for accurately determining the dose delivery to the target and healthy tissues, as well as the effectiveness of Gd against other neutron convertors such as boron (B) and lithium ...
متن کاملGamma-ray rejection, or detection, with gadolinium as a converter.
Gadolinium is a competent neutron conversion material for neutron detection due to its extremely high neutron capture cross section. It differs from the other neutron reactive materials by emitting large amounts of low-energy electrons for the consequent signal generation in a detector. Such low-energy electrons, though abundant, are prone to be contaminated by internal and/or external gamma ra...
