Neutron Capture Gamma-Ray Studies of Silicon Isotopes

Description

Neutron capture gamma rays of Silicon have been studied using a Ge(Li) solid-state detector. Eighteen previously observed transitions were identified and more than 25 previously unreported transitions were observed, but all of these are not as yet firmly assigned as emitted by silicon isotopes. The neutron separation energies were found to be 8475.2 ± 0.5, 10612.3±1.0 and 5591 ± 5 keV for 29Si, 30Si and 31Si, respectively. A single-crystal spectrometer was used to reflect the gamma-ray beam in order to suppress the Compton background from intense higher-energy gamma rays. (author)
