Description

The main purpose is to demonstrate that the summation coincidence technique is not only a mere tool for collecting experimental data on level energies by studying the two-step γ-cascades (TSC) following thermal neutron capture, but it is also a source of meaningful information on photon strength functions of heavy nuclei in energy region where virtually all previous techniques have failed. A number of parasitic effects that obscure the measurements and analysis of TSC spectra and that could be a source of systematic errors are discussed. A modelling of the TSC spectra based on the Monte Carlo approach is described. 16 refs., 4 figs
