Abstract

The time-of-flight and amplitude spectra of low-energy capture gamma rays and prompt fission gamma rays were measured on the 34 m and 27 m time-of-flight bases of the IBR-2 at the Neutron Physics Laboratory of the JINR using HPGe and Ge(Li) detectors. The sample-radiator was a thin metal disk of 235U (90%) and 238U (10%), 0.25 mm thick and 48 mm in diameter. The alpha value was obtained from the amplitude spectra for 27 energy groups in the 1 meV-2 eV energy range, as the ratio of the measured gamma-rays yields per capture to fission events; this was normalized to the standard alpha value for the thermal neutron energy.

Keywords
