Abstract
Spectra of rays following the reaction were measured as a function of incident neutron energy with the DANCE (Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments) array of scintillation detectors at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center using an enriched target. These spectra were used for the assignment of spins of the resonances up to neutron energy keV, as well as in the study of photon strength functions (PSFs) in . Analysis of the spectra with the nuclear statistical model showed that they can be well reproduced with the same PSF models which well described the decay following slow neutron capture in . On the other hand, the spectra are inconsistent with PSFs describing some other experimental data in .
