Abstract
The complex spectrum of resonantly scattered nickel neutron-capture rays from a natural tellurium target is shown to be predominantly associated with transitions from a 7.538-MeV excited level in to several low-lying levels. The experiments were performed at a tangential-beam-tube facility of the IRR-2 reactor, using a nickel source placed adjacent to the reactor core. A large-volume lithium-drifted germanium detector was used to measure the spectrum. Coincidence measurements were performed using two sodium iodide crystals.
