Abstract: (Elsevier)
Radiative capture of fast neutrons by the deformed nuclei 165 Ho and 238 U was measured over the 7 to 15 MeV incident neutron energy range. The γ-ray detector was a large NaI(T1) anti-Compton spectrometer, and time-of-flight techniques were used to suppress background. The total radiative capture cross section exhibits an energy dependence that clearly indicates the importance of the direct-semidirect reaction mechanism. Theoretical calculations compare favorably with experimental observations. However, the shapes of the observed γ-ray spectra differ from those calculated, indicating problems in estimating the distribution of single-particle strength for these deformed nuclei.References(22)
