Neutron resonance parameters of zirconium 96 below 100 keV

Abstract

Transmission data taken at the 80 m station of the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator have provided resonance parameters for 96Zr to 100 keV. The average level spacing and neutron strength function for s-wave neutrons were as follows: <D> = 8±2 keV and S0 = (0.21±0.10) x 10-4. The average p-wave neutron strength function was S1 = (7.4±2.0) x l0-4.
