~ Nuclear Isomer Gamma Emission Simulations in Geant4~~

POSTER

Abstract

~Nuclear isomers have a wide variety of applications, yet many properties, such as energy levels, are not well known. Energy levels are experimentally determined by detecting gamma emission from nuclear de-excitation. Through Monte Carlo simulations, this process has been simulated using various beam and target combinations in Geant4. A detector ring consisting of multiple scintillation detectors has been placed in optimal positions to specifically measure energy from gamma emissions. Using the analysis capabilities of CERN's Root, various physical phenomena have been observed. Since energy levels of neutron-rich isomers are not well identified, excitation states are of~particular interest~to better develop nuclear structure models.~~
