Abstract

Fast neutron inelastic scattering by separated isotopes of Zr was studied by observing the de-excitation gamma-ray spectra. The (926±9)-kev photopeak observed with normal Zr scatters was shown to be produced by two gamma rays differing in energy by less than 2.5% and originating in the isotopes Zr92 and Zr94. This is interpreted as evidence for a first excited state at about 926 kev in both isotopes. Relative excitation curves for gamma-ray production by neutron inelastic scattering have been measured from threshold to En=5.5 Mev for the 850-kev gamma ray from Fe56 and the 926-kev gamma rays from Zr92+94.
