Description
The high energy bremsstrahlung γ-rays accompanying the spontaneous
fission of 252 Cf were measured in the 10-70 MeV energy
range. The photons were detected by two BGO scintillator detectors
(ø7.6cm × 7.6cm) in coincidence with neutrons detected by
plastic scintillator detector, in the 90° and 180° geometry of
the two BGO detectors with respect to the axis of the plastic
scintillator. The distance from the 252Cf source to the BGO
detectors was 10 cm, and the one to the plastic detector was 50 cm. The
fast digital shape analysis technique and the time-of-flight method were
used to reject pile-up effects and cosmic ray background. The
γ-ray emission probability of 3 × 10-8photon/(MeV
× fission) at Eγ = 70 MeV was obtained.
