Abstract The partial cross section for radiative neutron capture accompanied by gamma transitions to the ground state of the 59Ni nucleus was measured as a function of energy by a new neutron-spectrometry method that employed the shift of a primary gamma transition in response to a change in the energy of the captured neutron. The reaction 7Li(p, n)7Be was used as source of neutrons for the present measurements. The protons that induced this reaction were accelerated by a Van de Graaff electrostatic generator to energies exceeding the reaction threshold by 60 keV, in which case an appropriate geometry of the experiment permitted irradiation of the sample under study with neutrons whose energy ranged between 10 and 120 keV. The partial widths of some resonances and radiative strength function for hard primary M1 gamma transitions were determined in addition to the above cross sections.
