γ production and neutron inelastic scattering cross sections for ⁷⁶Ge

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁷⁶Ge(n, n'), E=white spectrum; measured Eγ, Iγ using GAINS array at GELINA-IRMM facility. ⁷⁶Ge; deduced levels, γ branching ratios; production σ of 2040.7-keV γ ray from 3951.9-keV level in connection with its relevance to GERDA experiments for double-beta decay. ⁷⁶Ge(n, n'), E<2.3 MeV; measured angle-integrated σ(E) for several γ rays, comparison with previous experimental results and TALYS model code calculations using DWBA for first few levels. Discussed implications for 0νββ experimental studies.
