Gamma-ray Energy and Multiplicity
• Response to NEA High Priority Request of more accurate knowledge of heating caused by gamma emission in the next generation of nuclear reactors
• Coincidence with emission of prompt gamma rays as a function of the fragment mass and energy
• 12 NaI detectors around the uranium target provide a 6.8% photo peak detection efficiency

Gamma decay of fission fragment
• As fragment cools, statistical and yrast emissions remove angular momentum and lower excitation energy.
• Overall multiplicity• yrast & statistical
contributions

Monte Carlo simulation (decay)
• Number of yrast gamma rays linked to mean spin ~ B.
• Geometric distributions give statistical gamma rays for each fragment.
• Interaction with array: ,e scattering
Probability of spin state is generated based statistical model:

235U Gamma-ray multiplicities
Measured fold distribution
Use χ2 minimisation to deduce multiplicity distribution
Mean multiplicity ≈ 7 ± 1Jrms = 7.1
Statistical = 1.5
