Abstract

The gamma-ray spectrum following thermal neutron capture by 204Pb was observed to populate directly 16 levels in 205Pb. A total of 23 low-energy gamma rays, of which three are doubtful, were observed to depopulate these levels. A decay scheme using the above information is proposed and compared to theoretical predictions. The neutron binding energy for 205Pb was determined to be 6734.2±1.5 keV, and the neutron capture cross section for 204Pb was found to be 661±70 mb.
