Abstract

The cross section ratios for the formation of the 2 sec and the 54 min isomeric states of In 116 due to neutron capture in the three lowest resonances of the In 116 compound nucleus were measured. A comparison of the results with the isomeric cross section ratios calculated by the γ-ray cascade statistics yields for the spin of the 2 sec state, a value J m2 = 5. The activation cross section for thermal neutrons was calculated from the isomeric cross section ratio in the 1.46 eV resonance to be σ m2(0.0253 eV) = 81±8 b.
