Abstract
The partial radiation widths of three (two electric dipole and one electric quadrupole) primary γ transitions in , subsequent to neutron capture by the 153-keV, resonance in , have been remeasured. Both electric dipole transitions, accounting for more than 80% of the total radiation width, can be explained as valence neutron transitions. The deduced total radiation width of eV for this resonance disagrees with the previous value of 2.4±0.9 eV and significantly affects the production of A≥14 nuclei in primordial nucleosynthesis.
