NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²³⁸U(polarized γ, γ'), E=2.0-6.2 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γ(θ), γ(linear pol), integrated cross sections using HIγS facility at TUNL. ²³⁸U; deduced levels, J, π, multipolarity, widths, branching ratios, B(M1), B(E1), total γ-ray interaction cross section for E1. Systematics of E1 and M1 strengths for ²³²Th, ^236,238U. Comparison with QRPA calculations.
