Looking for excited state gamma emission data on everything?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the search for gamma emission data from excited states of isotopes, specifically focusing on non-decay gamma emissions resulting from nuclear reactions such as fusion and fission. Users provided links to databases, including Nucleonica's decay schemes and the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) for isotopes A=5 to 20. The primary need is for gamma specifications from excited states to ground states, particularly in scenarios involving non-elastic collisions and energetic nuclear transmutations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gamma emission and decay processes
  • Familiarity with nuclear reactions, specifically fusion and fission
  • Knowledge of isotopes and their excited states
  • Experience with nuclear data databases such as Nucleonica and NNDC
NEXT STEPS
  • Research non-decay gamma emission mechanisms in nuclear reactions
  • Explore the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) for comprehensive isotope data
  • Investigate the Nucleonica database for decay schemes and related information
  • Study the principles of nuclear transmutation and energy release in reactions
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, nuclear physicists, and software developers working on applications related to gamma emissions and nuclear reactions will benefit from this discussion.

Hey guys, I am looking for a database on gamma emission from the first few excited states of known isotopes for a piece of software we are putting together. Any format is fine.

Thanks!

Thank you gleem, unfortunately what we need is non decay gamma emission from things like non elastic collisions, product emission from fusion/fission reactions, etc..

Basically the gamma specs for all nuclides going from the excited states to ground states of each nucleus.

You want the gamma decay scheme right? for which nuclei?

Not the decay schemes, but more like from the products of reactions like this:

Si28+n->Si28+n+gamma, where the gamma comes from the excited state of the Si28

or this:

O16+T->F18+n gamma, where the gamma comes from the excited state of the F18

Basically, each nucleus has a ground state, if it is excited to a higher state via an incoming particle in a non elastic collision like in the first example, or by an energetic nuclear transmutation (products have less mass than the reactants, and E=mc^2, therefore energy is evolved) as in the second example.
 
You mean like this for O16 if so see http://www.tunl.duke.edu/nucldata/ for nuclei from A=5 to 20.
