Isomeric ratio measurements for the radiative neutron capture Lu-176(n,gamma) at DANCE

The isomeric ratios for the neutron capture reaction Lu-176(n,gamma) to the J(pi) = 5/2-, 761.7 keV, T-1/2 = 32.8 ns and the J(pi) = 15/2(+), 1356.9 keV, T-1/2 = 11.1 ns levels of Lu-177, have been measured for the first time with the Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments (DANCE) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. These measured isomeric ratios are compared with TALYS calculations.
