Theory of Dopler Broadening

Photon emmision along direction of fission fragment velocit

Eshift=Ephoton1βcos(θiphoton)1β2i = amount of energy the gamma ray was shifted by

where Ephoton is the Doppler-shifted γ-ray energy which was measured


cosθphoton1=-cosθ1 for an excited fragment in det-1
cosθphoton2=-cosθ2 for an excited fragment in det-2


θi is the polar emission angle of excited fragment and βi the fragment velocity

βi=0.04634Ei[MeV]Ai[u]

Photon emission off fission fragment velocity axis
