Cross sections of 27Al(γ, n)26Al measured at SLEGS. The dots are the folded cross section and the line with shaded area is the unfolded (monochromatic) cross section.

Caption

Using the unfolding iteration method, the monochromatic cross sections of the 27Al(γ, n)26Al reaction are obtained. Statistical uncertainties stem only from neutron counts since the uncertainties from the high number of γ-ray counts are negligible. The total uncertainty includes statistical, systematic, and methodological aspects, with the total uncertainty estimate for 27Al(γ, n)26All being less than 4%, except for data points related to lower cross-sectional values and an energy of 21.7 MeV.
