Description

In this talk we will present preliminary results associated to the neutron-induced inelastic channel on 40Ca. The data were measured at the GELINA neutron source of EC-JRC-Geel using the GAINS spectrometer. This is a HPGe-detector-based spectrometer that uses gamma spectroscopy coupled with the neutron time-of-flight technique to extract angle-integrated gamma-production cross sections for the most intense transitions following neutron inelastic scattering. We were able to extract inelastic data for the two main transitions in 40Ca, at 3736 and 3903 keV. After a very short description of the setup and experimental technique associated to our measurements at GAINS, we will then proceed to comparing our results with previously measured data and with TALYS theoretical calculations performed using the default settings of the code.
