DOI: 10.1364/ao.445793
Abstract: We demonstrate the possibility to directly detect microgram amounts of the isotope 7Li using a quasi-monochromatic high-energy photon beam. The isotope selective detection is based on a witness scatterer absorbing and re-emitting photons via nuclear… read more here.
