Thermal neutron capture cross sections and neutron separation energies for ²³Na (n, γ)

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²³Na(n, γ), E=cold neutrons; measured Eγ, Iγ, σ_γ, total radiative capture cross section using cold guided neutron beams at the Budapest reactor facility. ²⁴Na; deduced levels, J, π, S(n), systematics of reduced transition probabilities σ_γ/Eγ³ for primary γ rays; comparison with ENSDF evaluation. Comparison of capture σ with previous measurements and evaluations.

RADIOACTIVITY ²⁴Na, ^24mNa(β^-); analyzed total radiative cross section from the ²⁴Na g.s. and isomer decay schemes. ²⁴Mg; deduced levels, and γ-ray cross sections.
