Neutron-Proton Bremsstrahlung Inclusive Photon Measurement at LANSCE/WNR: Results for TN from 100 to 280 MeV
Abstract
A series of experiments are underway at the LANSCE/WNR facility to measure the Neutron-Proton Bremsstrahlung (npγ) process. Nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung is the lowest energy elastic process by which a photon is produced when two nucleons undergo a strong interaction. The npγ inclusive photon measurements were performed to investigate the nucleon-nucleon interaction and provide cross sections for high energy γ-ray production in heavy-ion reactions. A brief overview of the experiment using a highly segmented γ-ray telescope will be given. Results of the inclusive and bremsstrahlung data will be presented along with comparison to potential model calculations given. The data presented will cover photon energies greater than 40 MeV and neutron energies from 100 to 280 MeV at γ-ray angles of 90^circ and 117^circ.
