Abstract
The 3.39-MeV state in has been studied in the system, where the state appears as a resonance at a (lab) neutron energy of 20.8±0.5 keV. Comparison of the neutron scattering and transmission measurements with the data requires that the resonance be wave. Various considerations leave as the only plausible assignment. For a spin of 3, the neutron width is eV, which is about equal to the Wigner limit. Neutron-capture measurements, in which the residual activity was observed, clearly showed the resonance and yielded a total radiation width eV. The 18.36-MeV state in appears to be the analog of this state.
