International audienceA neutron inelastic scattering experiment was performed on an enriched Fe57 sample at the Geel Electron Linear Accelerator neutron source using the Gamma Array for Neutron Inelastic Scattering spectrometer. Several γ-production cross sections were determined, but the first transition (14.4 keV) could not be detected owing to the steadily increased γ background at low energies. Consequently, we use an interplay between experimental data and carefully tuned theoretical calculations to generate the total inelastic cross section
