Abstract
The main γ-ray intensities in the 14N(n, γ)15N reaction were determined at an accuracy of 0.3–1.0% based on the intensity balance principle. Measurements were performed at the supermirror neutron guide tube at the Kyoto University reactor (KUR). A liquid nitrogen target and a deuterated melamine (C3D6N6) one were used. We prepared a full-energy-peak efficiency curve by combining the measured and calculated efficiency curves. The previous values widely used as intensity standards agreed with the present results within 4–5% in the 2–11 MeV region, but the ratio to the present values showed a monotonic decrease with the increase in _-ray energy. The results reported by Belgya in 2006 agreed with the present one within 2–3% in the 2–8MeV region; nevertheless, the ratio showed a small oscillation versusγ-ray energy.
