Abstract

The nucleus23Na has been investigated by studying the primary γ-rays emitted from 53 keV neutron capture in it using a high resolution and high efficiency (100%) HPGe detector and NaI(T1) detector for anti-Compton. 24 primary γ-rays were placed in the24Na, in which 3 primary γ-rays were new ones from a (n, γ) reaction, and reported for the first time. In order to obtain an exact energy calibration within 7 MeV,56Fe(n,γ)57Fe reaction was used at thermal neutron energy. Intensity calibration was obtained from the27Al(p,γ)28Si reaction atEp=2046 keV. The neutron binding energy of24Na was determined to be 6959.75 keV.
