We describe new techniques for determining spins and parities of neutron resonances which have resulted in large improvements over previous methods. These advances have made it possible, for the first time, to obtain reduced-neutron- and total-radiation-width distributions separately for resonances of different spin and parity in odd-A target nuclides. Using these new as well as previous data, we show that neutron distributions sometimes are significantly different from the Porter-Thomas distribution assumed by the nuclear statistical model. Furthermore, we show that the radiation-width distributions often are substantially different than predicted by the nuclear statistical model using standard level densities and photon strength functions. These differences could have significant impact on astrophysical reaction rates calculated using the statistical model.

The neutron capture reaction is useful in identifying and analyzing the gamma-ray spectrum from an unknown assembly as it gives unambiguous information on its composition. This can be done passively or actively where an external neutron source is used to probe an unknown assembly. There are known capture gamma-ray data gaps in the ENDF libraries used by transport codes for various nuclear applications. The Evaluated Gamma-ray Activation file (EGAF) is a new thermal neutron capture database of discrete line spectra and cross sections for over 260 isotopes that was developed as part of an IAEA Coordinated Research Project. EGAF has been used to improve the capture gamma production in ENDF libraries. For medium to heavy nuclei the quasi continuum contribution to the gamma cascades is not experimentally resolved. The continuum contains up to 90% of all the decay energy and is modeled here with the statistical nuclear structure code DICEBOX. This code also provides a consistency check of the level scheme nuclear structure evaluation. The calculated continuum is of sufficient accuracy to include in the ENDF libraries. This analysis also determines new total thermal capture cross sections and provides an improved RIPL database. For higher energy neutron capture there is less experimental data available making benchmarking of the modeling codes more difficult. We use CASINO, a version of DICEBOX that is modied for this purpose. This can be used to simulate the neutron capture at incident neutron energies up to 20 MeV to improve the gamma-ray spectrum in neutron data libraries used for transport modeling of unknown assemblies.
