AmBe gammas



Profio lists energies of 0.06 and 4.43 MeV in his textbook Radiation 
Shielding and Dosimetry.  The 4.43 MeV results from the de-excitation of the 
first excited state in C-12.  A PuBe source gamma-ray spectrum may be found 
in Nucl. Instrum. and Methods vol. 147, pp. 551-561 (1977).  The C-12 peak 
is rather strong in that spectrum.  I would assume that it would be similar 
to the AmBe spectrum.

This time I am looking for the gamma energies in the alpha,neutron 
reaction between Am-241 and Be-9.  Any reference to literature will 
also do.  Send responses to:
