Abstract
The neutron decay of the giant multipole resonance region from 9 to 15 MeV of excitation energy in has been studied. Neutron branching ratios for the decay to the ground state or to the low-lying excited states of were measured as a function of the excitation energy of and compared to Hauser-Feshbach calculations. While the neutron branching ratios from the isoscalar quadrupole resonance are reproduced by the calculations, the ratios from excitation energies above 12.5 MeV show a large excess with respect to the statistical predictions.
