Doppler Broadening

Theory of Dopler Broadening

Photon emmision along direction of fission fragment velocit

[math]E_{shift} = E_{photon} \frac{1-\beta \cos(\theta_{photon}^i)}{\sqrt{1-\beta_i^2}}[/math] = amount of energy the gamma ray was shifted by

where [math]E_{photon}[/math] is the Doppler-shifted [math]\gamma[/math]-ray energy which was measured

[math]cos\theta_{photon1}[/math]=-[math]cos\theta_{i}[/math] for an excited fragment in det-1= angle between momentum of fragment [math]i[/math] and the emitted photon
[math]cos\theta_{photon2}[/math]=-[math]cos\theta_{2}[/math] for an excited fragment in det-2

[math]\theta_i[/math] is the polar emission angle of excited fragment and [math]\beta_i[/math] the fragment velocity

[math]sqrt{E_i[MeV]}[/math]
