Abstract

Absolute 55Mn(n, n′γ) γ-ray production cross sections have been measured for 19 transitions from levels up to and including the 2429 keV state in 55Mn over the energy range En = 1.0–3.6 MeV. Angular distributions were also measured for 6 of the transitions. Branching ratios were extracted and total inelastic neutron cross sections were inferred for these 55Mn excited states. The measured and inferred cross sections are compared with calculated cross sections using the statistical compound nucleus theory.
