Abstract

The relative intensities of different gamma emissions produced after the reaction (115)In(n,gamma)(116)In were analyzed for the particular case of incident neutron energies around the 1.45 eV indium absorption resonance. For this purpose, a pulsed neutron source in combination with the time-of-flight method for selecting the incident neutron energy range was employed. For neutrons around the mentioned absorption resonance the prompt gamma spectrum was extended to energies below 273 keV, and the intensities of gamma emissions not reported in the literature for epithermal neutrons were determined.
