Investigation of the reaction 35Cl(n,γ)36Cl

The γ-radiation following capture of non-polarized thermal neutrons in 35Cl has been investigated. Of the 420 γ-rays ascribed to the 35Cl(n,γ)36Cl reaction, 236 have been placed in a 36Cl decay scheme. The branching ratios and the excitation energies (with 0.04-0.9 KeV errors) of 72 bound states have been determined. Spin assignments and spin restrictions or confirmations have been made for a total of 20 levels. The multipole mixing ratios for some primary γ-ray transitions have been determined. There exists a significant correlation between (d,p) stripping strengths and (n,γ) reduced primary transition probabilities for transitions to lsub(n)(d,p) = 0 levels
