Measurement of the nuclear level density at high spins

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The neutron spectrum from the reaction /sup 92/Zr(/sup 64/Ni, 1n)/sup 155/Er has been measured at an average spin of 52h-dash-bar and for excitation energies between 30 and 36 MeV in /sup 155/Er. Channel and spin selection have been obtained from the Darmstadt-Heidelberg crystal ball. The level density in /sup 155/Er is derived within the framework of a Fermi-gas model. A level-density parameter of a = (A/(8.8 +- 1.3)) MeV/sup -1/ is deduced.
