Abstract

Measurements of the production cross sections and angular distributions of high energy γ rays from the reaction of C12 with C12 and Ar40 with Ti48 at a bombarding energy Eproj/nucleon=15 MeV are reported. Gamma rays in the energy region of 10 to 30 MeV were observed in a set of bismuth germanate scintillators. A large component of known γ-ray transitions in C12 and N13 nuclei near 15 MeV dominated the γ-ray spectra from the 12C+12C system. The spectra were fit with a combination of the discrete lines (using the calibrated response function of the BGO detectors) and an underlying exponential distribution of γ rays. The γ-ray spectra observed in the Ti40 reaction were similar but lacked the discrete lines. The fitted parameters are compared to the results of previous studies of high energy γ-ray production.
