Measurement of gamma-ray production cross sections in Li and F induced by protons from 810 to 3700keV

Differential cross sections for the reaction channels ⁷Li(p,nγ_1-0)⁷Be (Eγ = 429 keV), ⁷Li(p,pγ_1-0) (Eγ = 478 keV), ¹⁹F(p,pγ_1-0)¹⁹F (Eγ = 110 keV), ¹⁹F(p,pγ_2-0)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,pγ_3-1)¹⁹F (Eγ = 1236 keV), ¹⁹F(p,pγ_4-1)¹⁹F (Eγ = 1349 keV), ¹⁹F(p,pγ_5-2)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.
