Abstract

Two-step-cascade spectra in 172-Yb have been measured after thermal neutron capture. They are compared to calculations based on experimental values of the level density and radiative strength function (RSF) obtained from the 173-Yb(3-He,alpha gamma)172-Yb reaction. The multipolarity of a 6.5(15) muN2 resonance at Egamma=3.3(1) MeV in the RSF is determined to be M1 by this comparison.
