Abstract: Prompt gamma rays induced by (n,n′γ) reactions on iron were measured with the instrument FanGaS (Fast Neutron induced Gamma-Ray Spectrometry) operated at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching. The measurement was performed at an angle of 90° between neutron beam and detector. The fast neutron flux at the sample position was determined to be 1.40 × 108 cm−2 s−1 by using the foil activation method. Energies, relative intensities and fast neutron spectrum averaged isotopic cross section for production of 81 prompt gamma lines are presented. The results obtained are found in good agreement with literature data. The new set of gamma lines is recommended to replace the old dataset with several new lines also recognizing a few false identifications. This work is an important step towards the future chemical analysis of large samples at FanGaS employing highly penetrating fission neutrons.
