Gamma-ray tables for neutron fast neutron and photon activation analysis

In the past several years, a number of gamma-ray tables have been published. All of the tables limit themselves to those nuclides formed in (n, γ) reactions or at most to a few of the more prominent (n, 2n) products. A number of investigators are developing activation analysis methods using fast neutrons or photons. These investigations have been hampered by the lack of tables of gamma-rays of those nuclides that can be formed by (n, 2n), (n, p), (n, n) and (n, d) reactions. Since (γ, n) yields the same product as (n, 2n) the table would also be useful to photon activation studies. The authors have compiled such a table. Section II: list of the gamma-rays for all isotopes in order of increasing energy will be published in the J. Radional. Chem., 25. (1975) no.2. (T.G.)
