energy range 12.6 ≤ E� ≤ 17.5 MeV and 11.5 ≤ E� ≤ 17.5 MeV, respectively, using the recently introduced method of combining activation with X-ray counting. Improved shielding allowed to measure the (�,) to lower energy than previously possible. The combination of (�,) and (�,n) data made it possible to study the energy dependence of thewidth. While absolute value and energy dependence are perfectly reproduced by theory at the energies above 14 MeV, the observed change in energy dependence at…
