| Abstract | Cross sections for radiative neutron capture have been determined for ⁹⁴Zr and ⁹⁶Zr using the activation technique with samples of naturally occurring Zr metal. The sensitivity to the correction for epithermal neutrons in the determination of small thermal cross sections is discussed, particularly in view of the variation in the resonance integral at different sites in the reactor. Gamma-ray spectroscopic studies of the decays of ⁹⁷Zr and its daughter ⁹⁷Nb have been performed, leading to improved values of the energies and intensities of the emitted γ rays, and correspondingly improved values for the energy levels and β feedings of excited states populated in ⁹⁷Nb and ⁹⁷Mo. |
