NEUTRON RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY OF PD-106 AND PD-108 FROM 20 TO 2000 EV

Parity nonconserving asymmetries have been measured in p-wave resonanc es of (106)pd and Pd-108. The data analysis requires knowledge of the neutron resonance parameters. Transmission and capture gamma-ray yield s were measured for E-n=20-2000 eV with the time-of-flight method at t he Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). A total of 28 resonance s in (106)pd and 32 resonances in (108)pd were studied. The resonance parameters for (106)pd are new for all except one resonance. In (108)p d six new resonances were observed and the precision improved for many of the resonance parameters. A Bayesian analysis was used to assign o rbital angular momentum for the resonances studied.
