Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Physics - Nuclear Physics, Molecular Physics, Solid State Physics, grade: 2,0, Technical University of Darmstadt (Institut für Kernphysik), language: English, abstract: The NEPTUN tagger is a setup which uses LaBr3 detectors. The calibration of them is challenging since the channel-to-energy relation is not linear and energy drifts can occur. The quality of the calibration increases by using high-energy -ray sources. Neutron capture reactions (n,) with lathanum, bromine and chlorine which provide energies up to 8.5MeV are investigated with experiments and simulations. A moderator can deaccelerate the neutrons and that is why it increases the cross section for these reactions. Therefore the moderator thickness is analysed for an polyethylene exemplary. A thickness between around 5 cm is indicated as best choice. The lanthanum and bromine in the detector provides sharp peaks, as shown in the experiments. Chlorine target adds additional peaks to the spectrum. It is now possible to build an efficient and compact calibration setup.Der NEPTUN-Tagger ist ein Messaufbau, der LaBr 3 -Detektoren benutzt.
