Description
The prompt {gamma}-radiation from the interaction of fast neutrons with Al was measured using the white neutron beam of the WNR facility at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Partial production cross sections for residual nuclei in the range from F to Al were measured from threshold up to 400 MeV by observing the most intense {gamma}-transitions between low lying levels of these nuclei. Two-dimensional neutron time-of-flight versus gamma pulse height spectra from the interaction of the neutrons with Al were observed after flight-paths of about 20 and 40 m with a high-purity Ge-detector. The neutron cross sections for prominent {gamma}-transitions in a large number of residual nuclei could be derived with typical uncertainties of 10--20% up to a neutron energy of 400 MeV. The energy resolution varies from {approx}0.2 MeV at 10 MeV to {approx}50 MeV at 400 MeV. In the low energy range (up to 60 MeV) the results are compared with nuclear model calculations using the code GNASH. A very good overall agreement is obtained without special adjustment of parameters.
