Abstract

The -γ-ray spectrum emitted after thermal neutron capture in 31P was studied at the ILL high flux reactor with a pair spectrometer and an intrinsic Ge detector. A total of 212 transitions were assigned to the decay of 32P and 155 of these, representing 96.7% of the observed flux, were placed in a level scheme of 38 states. The neutron binding energy was determined as 7935.74 (16) keV. The densities of states observed in this reaction and in a recent (d, p) study are analyzed in the constant temperature Fermi-gas model. The primary E1 and M1 transition strengths in 32P are discussed and are compared to other sd-shell nuclei.
