Abstract
The majority of astrophysical reactions have very low cross-sections (nanobarn to picobarn range) and significant error bars [1, 2]. Hence γ-ray background studies up to 3 MeV have been performed inside the Facility for Research in Experimental Nuclear Astrophysics (FRENA), Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, India. A meticulous background calculation has been performed at different positions inside the accelerator hall and beam hall using two NaI(Tl) detectors [3]. An XPS measurement has been carried out to identify elements present in the FRENA wall concrete. Activity calculations done in [4] shows that neutrons produced by various experiments may combine with any nearby elements and form various radioactive isotopes with long half-lives, which may produce a γ-ray background .
