Reconstruction of high-energy part of gamma-ray spectrum in thermal neutron capture by $^{113}$Cd


Abstract in English

Average gamma-ray spectrum from $^{114}$Cd after thermal neutron capture in $^{113}$Cd was evaluated in units of mb/MeV. Two approaches are considered for estimation of average gamma-ray spectrum with normalization of the experimental data: mean spectra for all gamma-energies were found by averaging frequency polygon for experimental data histogram, and mean spectra were estimated as combination of theoretical values at low gamma-ray energies and averaging experimental data in high-energy range. The experimental spectra were evaluated from the gamma-intensities given by Mheemeed et al [A. Mheemeed et al., Nucl. Phys. A 412 (1984) 113] and Belgya et al [T. Belgya et al., EPJ Web Of Conf. 146 (2017) 05009]. They were normalized to average theoretical spectrum which were calculated by EMPIRE and TALYS codes with default input parameters. Procedure of normalization of high-energy part of the spectrum was described. As for now, the most reliable estimated $gamma$- spectrum for $^{113}$Cd(n,{x$gamma$}) reaction induced by thermal neutrons was presented.
