Description

Prompt γ-ray spectra of recoil 7*Li produced by the 10B(n, α)7Li reaction were measured using neutron beam. The observed Doppler broadening energy spectra were satisfactorily reproduced by a simulation where the velocity degradation of 7*Li within its lifetime of 1.05x10-13 s was estimated using the LSS theory. Our successful line-shape analysis was applied to non-destructive state analysis of trace amounts of boron. ((orig.))
