Secondary gamma-ray detection a powerful technique for low nuclear cross section studies

The experimental nuclear astrophysics program at the "Instituto de Física de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México" (IFUNAM) motivated the development of laboratory techniques: gamma detection, gamma-background reduction (cosmic and environmental) and the important summing correction. In this work the detection of gamma-rays as a secondary product of the reaction under study is presented in detail as a powerful technique for deducing reaction cross sections.
