DOI:https://doi.org/10.1139/p57-147· OSTI ID:4315593

The neutron capture gamma rays from Li/sup 7/, B/sup 11/, and N/sup 15/ have been studied. In Li/sup 7/ gamma rays are observed at 7.26 plus or minus 0.03 Mev and 6.78 plus or minus 0.05 Mev. In B/sup 11/ six gamma rays are detected. The spectrum is conslstent with J = 7/2 + for the capturing state. In N/sup 15/ six previously unreported gamma rays are detected. Estimates of thermal neutron radiative capture cross sections are Li/sup 6/, 0.028 plus or minus 0.008 b; B/sup 10/, 0.5 plus or minus 0.2 b; and N/sup 14/, 0.08 plus or minus 0.02 b. (auth)
