NUCLEAR REACTIONS 139La(3He, α), (3He, 3He'), E=38 MeV; 139La(d, p), E=13.5 MeV; measured α, 3He and proton spectra, Eγ, Iγ, αγ-, (3He)γ-, and pγ-coin using SiRi array for particles and CACTUS array for γ rays. 138,139,140La; deduced nuclear level densities (NLDs)and γ-ray strength functions (γSF). Comparison with previous experimental data, and with microscopic calculations using HFB+Comb, Fermi gas (BSFG1+CT) and BSFG2+CT models. 137,138,139La(n, γ), E=0.001-1 MeV; calculated σ(E) with the TALYS reaction code using the measured NLDs and γSFs as inputs, and compared to available experimental data.
