Neutron-Induced Reactions Using the GEANIE Spectrometer
Abstract
GEANIE is the first high-resolution γ-detector array to be used in conjunction with a high energy neutron spallation source. The spectrometer is located at the Weapons Neutron Research (WNR) facility at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). This unique combination provides excellent new opportunities for studying both nuclear reactions and structure. Excitation functions extracted from the ^238U(n,xnγ)[x=1,3] and the ^56Fe(n,xnγ)[x=1,2] reactions will be presented and compared to calculations and to other data. Recent improvements and modifications to the array will also be discussed.
