AbstractAbstract
[en] We are studying the gamma ray and neutron multiplicity of various fission processes, beginning with the spontaneous fission of 252Cf, for a variety of basic and applied science purposes. The Livermore-Berkeley Array for Collaborative Experiments (LiBerACE) consists of six high-purity germanium Clover detectors (HPGe) each enclosed by an array of 16 bismuth-germanate (BGO) detectors. These detectors were arranged in a cubic pattern around a 1 (micro)Ci 252Cf source to attempt to cover as much solid angle of gamma ray emission as possible with a high level of segmentation. The single-gamma detector response function is determined at several energies by tagging in a HPGe detector on the photopeak of one of two gamma rays in two-gamma ray calibration sources and observing the multiplicity of the remainder of the array. Summing these single-gamma responses in groups yields the response function of the array to higher multiplicity events, which are convolved with multiplicity distributions from theoretical models and compared to the measured results to test the models validity
