Abstract

The neutron total cross section for 33S has been determined for energies from 10keV up to 2 MeV at the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator (ORELA) by a time-of-flight (TOF) transmission experiment. By combining these results with (n, α) data obtained at the Geel Electron Linear Accelerator (GELINA), resonance parameter ( E λ , J π , and Γ n ) have been determined up to 270 keV. Neutron strength functions for s- and p-wave resonances were derived. The p-wave strength function is much larger than for other nuclides in this mass region ( 30Si, 32S, and 34S). This is discussed within the framework of the spherical optical model.
