Radiative Capture of Thermal Neutrons byCd113

Abstract

Study of the radiative capture of thermal neutrons by ${\mathrm{Cd}}^{113}$ with a scintillation spectrometer gave 9.20 Mev as the neutron binding energy of ${\mathrm{Cd}}^{114}$, and nuclear levels at 0.57, 1.33, 2.63, 3.49, 4.03, and 4.43 Mev. The relationship between the resolution of the spectrometer and gamma-ray energy is shown.
