Abstract: | <p> High resolution lithium-drifted Germanium detectors have been used to study the γ radiation emitted after thermal neutron capture in ten odd-proton even-neutron nuclei in the mass range 56 ≤ A ≤ 204. From the energies and intensities of these radiations, the energy dependence of the partial radiative widths to bound states with excitation energies in the region 0 to 2.5 MeV have been deduced. The energy dependence for the average spacing between the levels populated in this reaction have also been deduced over the same region of excitation energies. The energy dependence of the partial radiative widths are in agreement with the single particle estimate for dipole radiation and the energy dependence of the average level spacing favours the constant temperature model.</p> |
