/sup 36/S(n,. gamma. ) /sup 37/S reaction with thermal neutrons and decay of /sup 37/S to levels in /sup 37/Cl

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The /sup 36/S(n,..gamma..) /sup 37/S reaction with thermal neutrons has been studied utilizing a highly enriched /sup 36/S target. Fifteen ..gamma.. rays were observed which have been incorporated into a /sup 37/S level scheme. The neutron separation energy of /sup 37/S was determined to be 4303.52 +- 0.12 keV; and the thermal neutron capture cross section of /sup 36/S to be 230 +- 20 mb. The subsequent ..beta../sup -/ decay of /sup 37/S to levels in /sup 37/Cl has also been studied. Seven ..gamma.. rays were observed which have led to an improved /sup 37/S decay scheme.
