Abstract

The accurate measurement of neutron capture cross sections of the Eu isotopes is important for many reasons including nuclear astrophysics and nuclear diagnostics. Neutron capture excitation functions of ^151,153Eu targets were measured recently using a 4π γ-ray calorimeter array DANCE located at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center for E_n = 0.1-100 keV. The progress on the data analysis efforts is given in the present paper. The γ-ray multiplicity distributions for the Eu targets and Be backing are significantly different. The γ-ray multiplicity distribution is found to be the same for different neutron energies for both ¹⁵¹Eu and ¹⁵³Eu. The statistical simulation to model the γ-ray decay cascade is summarized.
