摘要
gamma rays were measured at several angles in both singles and coincidence mode in the Sn-119(alpha, n gamma)Te-122 reaction at 15 MeV on a thick target. Lifetimes of excited states in Te-122 were determined from a Monte Carlo Doppler shift attenuation method (DSAM) analysis of the Doppler broadened lines shapes of gamma rays de-exciting the levels. A comparison of several deduced lifetimes with recent results obtained with the (n, n') reaction allowed us to validate the choice of a parameter used to calculate the contribution of the side feeding times. The ingredients of the DSAM line-shape analysis (stopping power, description of instrumental line shapes, and side feeding evaluation) are presented in some detail. It is concluded that with proper treatment of side feeding, a DSAM line-shape analysis of peaks in singles or coincidence spectra obtained following the (alpha, n gamma) reaction is able to provide rather accurate values for the lifetimes of levels with low and medium spins.
