Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations for particle and γ-ray emissions from a compound nucleus based on the Hauser-Feshbach statistical theory are performed. The Monte Carlo method is applied to the neutron induced nuclear reactions on ⁵⁶Fe, and the results are compared with a traditional deterministic method. The neutron and γ-ray emission correlation is examined by gating on an 847 ke γ-ray that is produced by an inelastic scattering process. The partial γ-ray energy spectra for different γ-ray multiplicities is inferred using this Monte Carlo method.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
