Description

Levels in 57Co have been studied in the region of resolved levels (E<5.5 MeV) with measurements of the 57Fe(p,n)57Co neutron spectrum with resolution ΔE∼5 keV. Seventeen previously unknown levels are located. Level density parameters in the continuum region are deduced from thick target measurements of the same reaction and additional level density information is deduced from Ericson fluctuation studies of the reaction 56Fe(p,n)56Co. A set of level density parameters is found which describes the level density of 57Co at energies up to 14 MeV. Efforts to obtain level density information from the 56Fe(d,n)57Co reaction were unsuccessful, but estimates of the fraction of the deuteron absorption cross section corresponding to compound nucleus formation are obtained
