134Cs level structure deduced from the (n, ) reaction

A detailed study of the radiation following thermal neutron capture by 133 Cs is reported. The statistical precision attained and the signal processing used to enhance resolution to the equivalent of 1.5 keV are combined to provide insight into the complex level structure of 134 Cs. A statistical model is used to establish that the observed transitions consist mainly of primary transitions, and hence directly reflect the presence of bound …
