Neutron capture measurements were made for bismuth samples up to the inelastic scattering threshold at 901 keV (lab). All resonance peaks (t = 0, 1) between 2.6 and 30 keV were fitted to single level parameters by least squares adjustment. From 30 to 70 keV the resonances reported from recent neutron transmission studies were fitted. Average radiative widths found were {164 + 45) meV for l = 0 and (33.7 + 3) meV for t & 1, The average spacing of l p 0 levels was 1.14 + 0.25 keV for the energy interval 2.6-30 keV. The astrophysical average capture (10.7 mb at kT = 30 keV) is little different from earlier estimates but the rate of change with stellar temperature is slower.NUCLEAR REACTIONS 2~B ig, y), 8=2.6-901 keV measured 0 (E); deduced Bi level parameters, average radiative widths, p-wave spacing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
