NEUTRON CROSS SECTION EVALUATION GROUP NEWSLETTER NO. 2, OCTOBER 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4125252
This newsletter appears from time to time in order to acquaint users of neutron-cross-section data with recent information received by the Brookhaven National Laboratory Cross Section Evaluation Center. Angular distributions, thermal cross sections, fast cross sections, neutron resonance parameters, and (n,p) reaction cross sections are given. (W.D.M.) samples isotopically enriched in Ni/sup 58/, Ni/sup 60/, and Ni/sup 62/, respectively, were placed in a reactor neutron beam and the emitted capture ays were studied by means of a single scintillation crystal and a three-crystal scintillation spectrometer. Most of the natural-nickel gamma rays were assigned to at least one of the three isotopes studied. The high-energy gamma rays of Ni/sup 59/ and Ni/sup 61/ agree, within experimental errors, with proton-group energies previously measured in Ni/sup 58/,(d,p)Ni/sup 59/ and Ni/sup 60/(d,p)Ni/sup 61/ experiments. The neutron-binding energies were found to be 8.99, 7.81, and 6.80 Mev for Ni/sup 59/ , Ni/sup 61/, and Ni/sup 63/, respectively. (auth)
