Abstract

Circular polarization of γ- radiation following capture of polarized thermal neutrons by unoriented nuclei and the angular distribution of such radiation, using polarized neutrons and polarized nuclei, made it possible to assign spins to 13 levels of 52V. In addition the admixtures of spin-3 and spin-4 reaction channels could be derived for 20 primary γ-ray transitions. With this information interference phenomena in the 51V(n, γ) reaction were studied. The low-lying levels of 52V are compared with shell-model calculations. The capture mechanism is discussed in terms of a doorway-state model.
