Abstract:
Nowadays, the accuracy of experimental results relies more and more on detailed simulations. In the STEREO experiment, the interaction of neutrinos in the liquid scintillator is signed by a n-capture on a Gd atom. The FIFRELIN predictions of the Gd γ-cascades were shown to significantly improve the Data/MC agreement. In the CRAB method, lately proposed to calibrate cryogenic particle detectors at low energy (100 eV), the FIFRELIN cascades of the W and Ge isotopes played a central role in the feasibility study of the method. The FIFRELIN code employs a Monte Carlo Hauser-Feshbach framework based on Bečvár’s algorithm. A sample of nuclear level schemes is generated for a specific isotope of interest, taking into account the uncertainties from nuclear structure. In this work, new improvements on the FIRELIN de-excitation process are reported. Angular correlations of γ-rays in the de-excitation process have been implemented in order to provide a more accurate description of the γ-ray cascades. The anisotropy of the γ-rays with respect to the axis of a previously emitted γ-ray is modeled using the angular correlation formalism, which requires input of the spins and multipolarities of the states involved in the FIFRELIN cascade. Furthermore, the simulation of primary γ-rays emitted from (n,γ) reactions has been updated using the EGAF database.
