Alessandro BrunengoGeant4 Workshop at Noordwijk, The Netherlands September 1999 Photon Evaporation It is one of possible de-excitation channels for excited nuclei. Two qualitative different kind of events: Ý Continuum γ energy distribution Evaporation channel in competition with the others (evaporation, fission, Fermi break-up, multifragmentation). Ý Discrete energy transitions Last step of evaporation cascade, at low excitation energy.
Alessandro BrunengoGeant4 Workshop at Noordwijk, The Netherlands September 1999 Continuum γ energies It is part of the theory driven model. Ý E1 γ transitions only Ý Emitted γ energies sampled according to the distribution for Giant Dipole Resonance Ý Energy and width of GDR are independent from the nucleus excitation energy
Alessandro BrunengoGeant4 Workshop at Noordwijk, The Netherlands September 1999 Discrete γ energies No other de-excitation channels at these energy levels ENSDF experimental data used for all de- excitation parameters: Ý nuclear level energy, angular momentum, half life Ý emitted γ energy, polarity, relative probability of emission from a given level
