Abstract

We have established a set of laboratory measurements which is used for capturing element gammma spectrum. Standard captured gamma ray spectra for ten elements, including Si, Ca, Fe, are obtained using the measurements for the first time in China. We also simulated the capture gamma ray spectra of the ten elements using Monte Carlo methodology with the same parameters of our experimental measurements. Comparing the experiment and simulation results with the data from the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Nuclear Data Center, we obtained the standard captured gamma ray spectra of the ten elements, which, as calibration spectra, are used to calibrate the raw spectrum in data processing. This method solved the key problem during the conversion from the original measuring spectrum to the yield of each element in the data processing. The method can effectively improve the accuracy of the element yield calculation.
