Gamma-gamma angular correlation measurements in the 35Cl(n, γ)36Cl reaction

Abstract

With scintillation spectrometers, angular correlations have been measured of γ-radiation following thermal neutron capture in 35Cl. The following spins in 36Cl are determined: J(0.788) = 2 or 3, J(1.949) = 2, J(1.957) = 2, J(2.469) = 3. The latter three spin assignments are based on the assumption that the 2.469 → 1.949 MeV transition has El character. The capturing state is predominantly of J = 2 character.
