Abstract
The 55Mn(d,n)56Fe differential cross section is measured at Ed=7 MeV\@. The 56Fe level density obtained from neutron evaporation spectra is compared to the level density extracted from the 57Fe(3He,αγ)56Fe reaction by the Oslo-type technique. Good agreement is found between the level densities determined by the two methods. With the level density function obtained from the neutron evaporation spectra, the 56Fe γ-strength function is also determined from the first-generation γ matrix of the Oslo experiment. The good agreement between the past and present results for the γ-strength function supports the validity of both methods and is consistent with the low-energy enhancement of the γ strength below 4 MeV first discovered by the Oslo method in iron and molybdenum isotopes.
