Revision as of 03:25, 19 June 2007

Experimenters: Doug Wells, Mark Mitchell, Tamuna, Oleksiy

Apparatus: File:Setup-6-15-07.jpg

Data Runs:

1. Paraffin layer of thickness 2x6.3 cm was used as neutron attenuator.

The ungated spectrum of gamma-rays emitted by Cf-252 source is presented in Fig. 1.1.

Spectrum of gamma-rays emitted by Cf-252 source gated by the signal from plastic scintillator BC-420 is shown in Fig. 1.2.

Spectrum of time intervals between signals coming from germanium detector and fast plastic scintillator is represented in Fig. 1.3. Ge-detector signal served as "start" signal.

2. Polyethelen doped with boron of thickness of 2x5 cm was used for neutron shielding.

The ungated spectrum of gamma-rays from Cf-252 source obtained using HPGe detector is shown in Fig. 2.1.
