Times Cited Count:38 Percentile:87.29(Physics, Nuclear)Using quasi-monochromatic laser-Compton scattering rays, total photoneutron cross sections were measured for
Pb near neutron threshold with a high-efficiency 4
neutron detector. Partial
1 and
1 photoneutron cross sections along with total cross sections were determined for
Pb at four energies near threshold by measuring anisotropies in photoneutron emission with linearly-polarized
rays. The
1 strength dominates over the
1 strength in the neutron channel where
1 photoneutron cross sections show extra strength of the pygmy dipole resonance in
Pb near the neutron threshold corresponding to 0.32-0.42% of the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn sum rule. Several
units of B(
1)
strength were observed in
Pb just above neutron threshold, which correspond to an
1 cross section less than 10% of the total photoneutron cross section.

We present a well-prescribed method of determining the number of incident photons within 3.5% accuracy based on the response of the NaI(Tl) detector to the pulsed photon beams.

-rays produced in inverse Compton-scattering of laser photons with relativistic electrons. The data were analyzed with a least-squares method to deduce photoneutron cross sections. The analysis significantly reduced experimental uncertainties compared with those resulted from the photon difference method. The result is compared with the previous data by direct neutron-counting with
-rays produced in positron annihilation in flight and by photoactivation with bremsstrahlung. The present data are in good agreement with the previous data near neutron threshold, while there remain some discrepancies between the present and the previous data above 10 MeV.

-ray strength function for zirconium isotopes systematically. We present a unified picture of the
-ray strength function that consists of the HFB + QRPA model of E1 strength accompanied by an extra M1 strength attributable to giant M1 resonance. It is shown that the
-ray strength function reproduces both (g,n) and (n,g) cross sections for Zr isotopes consistently.

-ray beams to experimentally constrain the E1
strength function for
Se. Two sets of the
strength function and the level density that equally meet the experimental constraint predict largely different neutron capture cross sections for
Se. Based on the Maxwell-averaged cross sections of the latest compilation complemented with the predicted cross sections for
Se, we calculated
N values of the main s-process component using a phenomenological model and deduced empirical abundances of the weak s-process component.

Photoneutron cross sections were measured for Se near the neutron threshold energy with quasi-monochromatic
rays. Using the
Se(
,
) cross section as experimental constraints on the E1
strength function, we estimate the neutron capture rates for
Se. The solar abundance ratio of s-only nuclides
Kr and
Kr are analyzed in terms of the s-process branching at
Se within the local approximation. The corresponding temperature and neutron density regimes are discussed in the light of the s-process scenario in massive stars.

Re,
Os(
) reactions were measured using quasi-monochromatic photon beams from laser Compton scattering (LCS) with average energies from 7.3 to 10.9 MeV. The results are compared with the predictions of Hauser-Feshbach statistical calculations using four different sets of input parameters. In addition, the inverse neutron capture cross sections were evaluated by constraining the model parameters, especially the
strength function, on the basis of the experimental data. The present experiment helps to further constrain the correction factor
for the neutron capture on the 9.75 keV state in
Os. Implications of
