Radiative strength functions of germanium from thermal neutron capture

Thermal neutron capture gamma rays from germanium have been studied using an internal irradiation facility and a pair spectrometer. Energy and intensity of transitions in four germanium isotopes were determined and their level and separation energies inferred. The separation energies are Sn (71Ge)=7415.95±0.05 keV, Sn (73Ge)=6782.94±0.05 keV, Sn (74Ge)=10 196.31±0.07 keV, and Sn (75Ge)=6505.26±0.08 keV. The E1 reduced strength function, …
