Abstract

The isomeric ratios for the neutron capture reaction ¹⁷⁶Lu(n,γ) to the J^π = 5/2⁻, 761.7 keV, T_1/2 = 32.8 ns and the J^π = 15/2⁺, 1356.9 keV, T_1/2 = 11.1 ns levels of ¹⁷⁷Lu, have been measured for the first time with the Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments (DANCE) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. These measured isomeric ratios are compared with TALYS calculations.
