Gamma-ray pluse height analysis

[Objectives]
To measure gamma-ray spectrum originated from nuclear reactions between fast ions and impurity ions.

[Detectors, Diagnostic Method]
Time resolved gamma-ray spectra in an energy range of 0.5 to 20 MeV are measured by a NaI(Tl) scintillator surround by 50 cm thick polyethylene and 30 cm thick lead shield.

Following gamma-rays originated from inelastic collisions have been measured in JT-60U ICRF experiments to identify energy distribution of MeV-energy protons.

(1) p + 20Ne--> p + 20Ne + gamma(1.6MeV)
(2) p + 11B--> p + 11B + gamma(2.1MeV)
(3) p + 12C--> p + 12C + gamma(4.4MeV)
