Low energy states in /sup 180/Ta

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
A study of both the /sup 180/Ta(n,..gamma..)/sup 181/Ta and /sup 181/Ta(..gamma..,n)/sup 180/Ta reaction reveals energy levels in /sup 180/Ta at 38, 73, 109, 181, 231, 258, and 309 keV. The 73 keV level is shown to be the long-lived J = 9 state occurring in nature. Neutron separation energies of 7579 +- 2 keV and 6063.3 +- 0.5 keV have been determined for the /sup 180/Ta-/sup 181/Ta and /sup 181/Ta-/sup 182/Ta pairs, respectively. The Q value for thermal neutron capture on /sup 180/Ta was found to be 7652.3 +- 0.5 keV.
