Description

High energy $\gamma$-ray can be used for nuclear waste transmutation, because of the giant resonance. The generation of high energy $\gamma$-ray mainly include bremsstrahlung, laser Compton scatter and resonance reaction. The thick target yield of the $9.17MeV$ $\gamma$-ray from the resonance at $1.75MeV$ in the ${}^{13}C(p,\gamma {)}^{14}N$ was measured by use of HPGe detector. The absolutely efficiency of the detector was calibrated by the GEANT4 simulation and the known radioactive activities of ${}^{56}Co$ and ${}^{152}Eu$. The energy and angular distribution of the $9.17MeV$ $\gamma$-ray are determined. Meanwhile, the photo neutron cross section at the energy of $9.17MeV$ for ${}^{197}Au(\gamma ,n)$ has been determined.
