Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence of 235U Measured with High-Resolution LaBr3(Ce) Scintillation Detectors

A nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) experiment was performed on a 235 U target with quasi-monochromatic $\gamma$-rays at the High Intensity $\gamma$-ray Source (HI$\gamma$S) facility using a 1733 keV resonant energy. A LaBr 3 (Ce) detector array consisting of eight cylindrical detectors, each wit...

Description
Summary:A nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) experiment was performed on a 235 U target with quasi-monochromatic $\gamma$-rays at the High Intensity $\gamma$-ray Source (HI$\gamma$S) facility using a 1733 keV resonant energy. A LaBr 3 (Ce) detector array consisting of eight cylindrical detectors, each with a length of 7.62 cm and a diameter of 3.81 cm, was implemented in this measurement. Moreover, a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector array consisting of four detectors, each of which has a relative efficiency of 60%, was used as the benchmark for the measurement taken using the LaBr 3 (Ce) detector array. The integrated cross section of the NRF level, measured with LaBr 3 (Ce) detectors, showed good agreement with the available data.
