Measurement of prompt gamma-ray emission in fission

Abstract

In this work we present results from the characterization of both LaCl 3:Ce scintillation and polycrystalline diamond detectors to be used for measurements of prompt gamma radiation emitted in fission. The properties of these new detector types, such as excellent timing resolution and improved energy resolution will allow to obtain fission data with higher accuracy than those available today. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd.
