Description

The gamma production cross sections from the neutron inelastic scattering on 24Mg were measured for neutron energies up to 18 MeV at GELINA (Geel Linear Accelerator), the neutron source operated by EC-JRC-IRMM, Belgium. The level cross section and the total inelastic cross section were determined. We used the GAINS (Gamma Array for Inelastic Neutron Scattering) spectrometer with 7 large volume HPGe detectors placed at 110? and 150? with respect to the beam direction. The neutron flux was determined with a 235U fission chamber. The results are compared with calculations performed with the TALYS 1.6 code using the default settings.
