Preliminary results of proton inelastic scattering on 57Fe
Abstract
A proton inelastic scattering experiment on a 57Fe target was performed at the 9 MV TANDEM facility of Horia Hulubei-National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering, Bucharest-Măgurele, Romania. The purpose was to determine the γ-production cross sections of the transitions observed in the 57Fe(p, p'γ)57Fe reaction. The detection system consisted of 4 HPGe detectors for detection and a Faraday cup for beam integration. The proton energy was varied from 5 to 16 MeV, in 1-MeV steps. In the current analysis, experimental cross sections were determined only for the high-volume detectors, placed at 110° and 150° with respect to the beam axis. This work presents the data analysis procedure and the preliminary experimental cross sections for the most intense transitions decaying from the first seven excited states in 57Fe. The results are compared with TALYS 1.9 theoretical calculations performed using default input parameters.
