Description
The nucleus 23Na has been investigated by studying the primary γ-rays emitted from 53 keV neutron capture in it using a high resolution and high efficiency (100%) HPGe detector and NaI(T1) detector for anti-Compton. 24 primary γ-rays were placed in the 24Na, in which 3 primary γ-rays were new ones from a (n,γ) reaction, and reported for the first time. In order to obtain an exact energy calibration within 7 MeV, 56Fe(n,γ)57Fe reaction was used at thermal neutron energy. Intensity calibration was obtained from the 27Al(p,γ)28Si reaction at Ep=2046 keV. The neutron binding energy of 24Na was determined to be 6959.75 keV. (author)
