Total cross section and resonance spectroscopy for n+/sup 86/Kr

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The neutron total cross section for n+ /sup 86/Kr has been measured over the incident neutron energy range 0.015 to 25 MeV. The average total cross section is obtained for neutron energies from 1 to 25 MeV. For the energy region from 0.015 to 1 MeV, an R-matrix analysis yields resonance parameters which provide a complete representation of the neutron scattering functions for the s/sub 1/2/, p/sub 1/2/, and p/sub 3/2/ scattering channels. From this analysis level densities, neutron strength functions, and external R functions are obtained for the 1-MeV energy region just above the neutron separation energy. The backshifted Fermi-gas model provides excellent descriptions of the level densities for the (1/2/sup +/, (1/2/sup -/, and (3/2/sup -/ states. Evidence of intermediate structure is found for the s-, p-, and d-wave scattering channels.
