Abstract
The distribution of the electromagnetic dipole strength below the neutron separation energy and its influence on the photon distribution after neutron capture were investigated in two experiments for the compound nucleus $^{114}\mathrm{Cd}$. By measuring the photoabsorption cross section at the bremsstrahlung facility $\ensuremath{\gamma}\mathrm{ELBE}$ at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf it was possible to deduce the distribution of dipole strength below the neutron separation energy. The de-excitation spectrum after cold-neutron capture in $^{113}\mathrm{Cd}$ was measured at the Budapest Neutron Center. In a combined analysis, the experimentally deduced spectra after photon scattering on $^{114}\mathrm{Cd}$ and the neutron capture in $^{113}\mathrm{Cd}$ were analyzed in terms of electric and magnetic strength functions and nuclear level density with the help of the statistical code $\ensuremath{\gamma}$dex.
