Radiative strength functions and spin measurements for $^{95,96}$Mo from radiative neutron capture

ORAL

Abstract

Statistical properties in $^{95,96}$Mo have been measured using the multiplicity of $\gamma$-rays following neutron capture. Below the neutron separation energy an unusual enhancement in the radiative strength function (RSF) of Fe and Mo isotopes has been reported. We provide a new measurement of the RSF and compare our results with those obtained from two-step cascade measurements. An improved spin assignment for resonances in $^{96}$Mo is given.
