The characteristic gamma spectrums of different elements stimulated by neutrons have been studied using Geant4(Geant4.7.0
2005)
a Monte Carlo simulation software.The results show that for different incident neutrons
the yield of different characteristic gamma photons are variational
from which the conception of optimal incident neutron energy is suggested.These results indicate that optimal energy for different elements is varied and the ener-gies of characteristic gamma photons for all the elements are mainly in the range of 0.8—7 MeV.
