Spin Measurements of n +87Sr for Level Density Studies

We have used the 4π BaF2 gamma-ray detector array at the n_TOF neutron time-of-flight facility at CERN for an experiment in order to determine the spins of resonances of n +87Sr by measuring the gamma-ray spectra and multiplicity distributions. The first results are presented here. We have assigned the orbital momentum ℓ to all evaluated resonances on the basis of their neutron widths. Further we have assigned the spin J to 16 s-wave resonances on based the population of low-lying levels.
