Abstract

The differential cross section for the production of the 6.13 MeV gamma ray from the 16O(n,n'γ) reaction has been measured between the reaction threshold and 8.2 MeV. The gamma rays were detected with a large NaI(Tl) crystal using time-of-flight techniques. Angular distributions have been studied at two resonance energies in the cross section, viz. 6.87 and 7.82 MeV. Spins for the involved levels in the compound nucleus are proposed and the shapes of the angular distributions are compared with calculations based on the compound nucleus model. The results are also compared with previously reported measurements.
