摘要
The Doppler broadening of gamma rays occurs in the fast neutron analysis with photons emitted in inelastic scattering reactions on certain nuclei, such as 12C and 14N. In this paper, we developed an algorithm based on the Monte Carlo method to calculate the Doppler broadened gamma peak shape of the 4.438 MeV gamma ray emitted by 12C in graphite when exposed to fast neutrons of different energies. The SAND-II unfolding iterative method is applied to obtain the spectrum of the incident neutron beam by using the Doppler broadened gamma spectra. In the calculation example, the unfolded neutron spectrum shows reasonable agreements with the original incident neutron spectrum.
