Photons in Coincidence
The 81 keV and 356 keV lines are the strongest and, when they occur in coincidence, they represent the transition from the 436 keV excited state of Cs-133 to the 81 keV excited state and then the ground state.
If I put a cut on the strongest line (356 keV) observed by Det B and ask what photon energies are observed in coincidence (timing window of 53 ns) with the other HpGe detector (Detector 180-2) I see the spectrum
7 hour Coinc run 5716 (timing window of 10 ns)
2 minute Singles Run 5718 (timing window of 53 ns)
Perform a similar analysis but require a 276 keV photon in Det. B. You should see a 160 keV photon in coincidence come out of the compton scattered photon "background".
Can almost see the 160 keV line (need more statistics)
