Abstract
A simple method of producing a source of high energy gamma rays is described. The gamma rays are obtained from the decay of 16N nuclei that have been produced by the reaction 16O(n,p) 16N. The 6.129 MeV gamma ray is completely free of distortion, Doppler broadening and energy shift. Except for the presence of about 7% of 7.117 MeV gamma rays, this source is essentially monochromatic and provides an excellent means of studying the line shape of a Ge(Li) detector.
