Abstract

With a Ge(Li) spectrometer, the circular polarization of γ-radiation due to capture of polarized thermal neutrons in K, Ca, Ti, Co, Cd and Pb was determined from transmission measurements through magnetized iron cobalt alloy. The following unambiguous spin assignments result from these measurements (Ex in keV); J(2290) = 2 in 40K; J(3174) = 12 in 49Ti; J(785) = 5 in 60Co. For several other states, the number of possible J-values was reduced considerably.
