Looking for excited state gamma emission data on everything?

In summary: OIn summary, the conversation was about finding a database for gamma emission from the first few excited states of known isotopes for a software project. The person was not looking for decay schemes, but rather non-decay gamma emission from reactions like non-elastic collisions and nuclear transmutations. They were directed to a website that provides this information for various nuclei.

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!

Here is a link to a database of for gamma decay schemes for number of isotopes https://www.nucleonica.com/wiki/index.php?title=Decay_Schemes

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.

1. What is excited state gamma emission data?

Excited state gamma emission data refers to the measurement and analysis of gamma radiation emitted from atoms or molecules that have been excited to a higher energy state.

2. How is excited state gamma emission data collected?

Excited state gamma emission data is typically collected using specialized equipment such as gamma spectrometers or scintillation detectors. These instruments detect and measure the energy and intensity of gamma radiation emitted from a sample.

3. What can excited state gamma emission data tell us?

Excited state gamma emission data can provide valuable information about the structure and behavior of atoms and molecules. It can also be used to identify specific elements or isotopes present in a sample.

4. How is excited state gamma emission data useful in scientific research?

Excited state gamma emission data is useful in a wide range of scientific research fields, such as nuclear physics, chemistry, and materials science. It can be used for fundamental studies of atomic and molecular properties, as well as for practical applications such as medical imaging and environmental monitoring.

5. Where can I find excited state gamma emission data?

Excited state gamma emission data can be found in various scientific databases, publications, and research papers. It may also be available from government agencies or research institutions that specialize in nuclear or atomic physics.
