abstract = {Prompt gamma rays of cerium and chlorine were investigated
with the FaNGaS (Fast Neutron-induced Gamma-ray
Spectrometry) instrument operated at the Heinz
Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching. The gamma
radiation was emitted from (n,n’), (n,p) and (n,α)
reactions induced by the irradiation of a cerium(III)
chloride (CeCl3) sample with a beam of fission neutrons.
Additionally, a polyvinylchloride (PVC, (C2H3Cl)n) sample
was irradiated to verify possible interferences between
gamma lines of cerium and chlorine. We identified 87 prompt
gamma lines of cerium and chlorine. From these, we assigned
58 lines to the (n,n’) reaction in cerium (one for 136Ce,
41 for 140Ce and 16 for 142Ce), 23 to the (n,n’) reaction
in chlorine (15 for 35Cl and 8 for 37Cl), 5 lines to the
35Cl(n,p)35S reaction and 1 line to the 35Cl(n,α)32P
reaction. We present relative intensities and fast-neutron
spectrum-averaged partial cross sections of the
aforementioned gamma lines and compare them with available
literature data. Identification of new lines and discussion
of possible errors adds important value to the literature
data found to be consistent with our results. In addition,
for a counting time of 12 h we estimate the detection limits
for cerium and chlorine as 1 and 2 mg, respectively.},
