“…This file is maintained in ENSDF format to preserve the nuclear structure aspects of the database. The EGAF file consists of an adopted dataset for each isotope, with supporting datasets prepared from the Lone et al [5] and Reedy [7] databases. The adopted γ-ray intensities are given as elemental cross sections.…”

Abstract. The Evaluated Gamma-ray Activation File (EGAF), a new database of prompt and delayed neutron capture γ ray cross sections, has been prepared as part of an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Coordinated Research Project to develop a "Database of Prompt Gamma-rays from Slow Neutron Capture for Elemental Analysis". Recent elemental γ-ray cross-section measurements performed with the guided neutron beam at the Budapest Reactor have been combined with data from the literature to produce the EGAF database. EGAF contains thermal cross sections for ≈35,000 prompt and delayed γ-rays from 262 isotopes. New precise total thermal radiative cross sections have been derived for many isotopes from the primary and secondary gamma-ray cross sections and additional level scheme data. An IAEA TECDOC describing the EGAF evaluation and tabulating the most prominent γ-rays will be published in 2004. The TECDOC will include a CD-ROM containing the EGAF database in both ENSDF and tabular formats with an interactive viewer for searching and displaying the data.

“…With the advent of Ge detectors in the 1960s, Rasmussen [3] and Orphan [4] measured capture γ-ray spectra for all elements. These data were compiled by Lone et al [5] who published a database of over 10,000 γ-rays in 1981. This database has been used for many years despite the inadequacies inherent to those early measurements.…”

“…Data from the compilation of Lone et al [1] were not used in this evaluation except for comparison with the final results. A principal source of evaluated capture gamma-ray data is the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF) [6].…”

“…Until now, the most comprehensive compilation of capture gamma-ray data was published by Lone et al [1] based on Ge(Li) measurements of elemental spectra by Rasmussen [2] in the 1960's. These data give gamma-ray yields per 100 neutron captures, but lack isotopic assignments and statistical uncertainties.…”

A new library comprising 30 thousand neutron capture gamma rays has been created by combining new measurements on natural elements from Budapest and literature data for all stable isotope targets. All energies and intensities are consistent in that they are based on the chlorine and nitrogen standards, respectively. Accurate neutron binding energies and thermal capture cross-sections could also be inferred for all cases where the level scheme is sufficiently complete. The new data can be used for nuclear structure investigations, reaction model calculations, and a number of applications, such as Prompt Gamma-ray Activation Analysis (PGAA).

“…Deux cibles ont été réalisées : une cible de titane et une cible de nickel, dont les principales raies de capture sont données dans le tableau I d'après Lone et al [8]. Ces cibles sont des plaques rectangulaires de 60 x 14 cm dont les épaisseurs sont les suivantes : titane : 1,6 cm (poids = 6,00 kg), nickel : 1,0 cm (poids = 7,50 kg).…”
