Analytical application of proton-induced prompt photon specrometry

Prompt gamma-rays emitted tinder bombardment with 3.5 to 6.0MeV protons from the 77 stable non-gaseous elements were evaluated for analytical application. The compilation included the yields of about 2200 gamma-rays and their detection limit for analysis. Because the data were measured under identical experimental conditions, the relative values may be generally applicable. For each element, the gamma-ray spectrum and the numerical data are presented in tables listing identified gamma-rays with yields and detection limits for Ep = 4.5 MeV, the gamma yields as a function of proton energy for the most intense gamma-prays, and, the polynomial coefficients of the function relating the detection limit to the bombarding energy. An Atlas of Spectra and a Catalogue of gamma-rays summarised the data.
