Measurement of gamma-ray production cross sections in Li and F induced by protons from 810 to 3700 keV
Abstract
Differential cross sections for the reaction channels 7Li(p,nγ1-0)7Be (Eγ = 429 keV), 7Li(p,pγ1-0) (Eγ = 478 keV), 19F(p,pγ1-0)19F (Eγ = 110 keV), 19F(p,pγ2-0)19F (Eγ = 197 keV) have been measured in the proton energy range 810-3700 keV, with an energy step of 10 keV. The reactions channels 19F(p,pγ3-1)19F (Eγ = 1236 keV), 19F(p,pγ4-1)19F (Eγ = 1349 keV), 19F(p,pγ5-2)19F (Eγ = 1357 keV) have also been investigated in the proton energy range 1915-3225 keV. The experimental set-up, the uncertainty budget, the comparison with other data and the progress assured by new data in the analytical use of standard-less Particle Induced Gamma-ray Emission (PIGE) are discussed.
