The level structure of 114Cd from (n, γ) and (d, p) studies

High-resolution study of the113Cd(n,γ) spectrum by statistical decay model with discrete levels and transitions

“…The gamma-ray energies and intensities up to 2 MeV were taken from the crystal spectrometer measurements at ILL [18], since it had much better resolution than our HPGe detector, above that from the present experiment. The level energies are least-square fit to the placed gammaray energies which gave a reduced chi square of 2.5.…”

“…These refined peak parameters were used to establish the radiative neutron-capture decay-scheme of 114 Cd. Data from experimental papers and recent compilations [7][8][9][10] were used in the decay scheme construction. The unsuppressed spectrum was unfolded with the methodology described in detail in Ref.…”

Analysis of average primary gamma-transition intensities and cross sections of the113Cd(n, ?) reaction

“…4b). To eliminate the energy dependence more correctly, at the first step the parameters of the expression (15) were fitted to the experimental values I* (i~ J~, Ev ) from [ 11]. Here (I ~ (./7))f is the relative reduced primary y transition intensity, averaged over final states (f) with same spin and parity J~.…”

“…The experimental data of [11,12] were used for the analysis. In [11] the reduced relative intensities I* (i~JT, Er) of the primary y transitions in 114Cd from average resonance neutron capture with neutron energies around 1.9 and 24.3 keV were presented normalized to those of the transitions to the lowest three 0 + states:…”

“…The combined analysis of the data [ 11 ] on the primary y-ray intensities from the l~3Cd(n, y) reaction and the data [12] on a~ was carried out in the present work to investigate the energy dependence of Sf ~ and S M~, to determine the Sn~ values and their possible spin-orbit splitting, and to calculate the neutron capture cross sections from the low-lying excited states in ~3Cd.…”
