Observation of Doppler broadening in β-delayed proton-γ decay
Abstract
Background: The Doppler broadening of γ-ray peaks due to nuclear recoil from β-delayed nucleon emission can be used to measure the energies of the nucleons. This method has never been tested using β-delayed proton emission or applied to a recoil heavier than A=10. Purpose: To test and apply this Doppler broadening method using γ-ray peaks from the P26(βpγ)Al25 decay sequence. Methods: A fast beam of P26 was implanted into a planar Ge detector, …
