Title: High-precision gamma-ray total cross-section measurements between 3.45 and 12 MeV

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/948552· OSTI ID:948552

A Compton-backscatter capability has recently become available at the Duke University Free Electron Laser Laboratory. This capability allows one to produce high fluxes of tunable, nearly monoenergetic gamma rays. Using these gamma-ray beams, we have made high-precision (~0.5%) measurements of the gamma-ray total cross section at 3.45, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 MeV. The nuclei measured were Be, C, Cu, Ta, W, Pb, and U
