Abstract
The nuclear level density and the -ray strength function have been extracted for by using the Oslo method on coincidence data. The -ray strength function displays a low-energy enhancement consistent with previous observations in this mass region . Shell-model calculations support the conclusion that the observed enhancement is due to strong, low-energy transitions at high excitation energies. The data were further used as input for calculations of the and cross sections with the talys reaction code. Comparison with cross-section data, where available, as well as with values from the BRUSLIB library, shows a satisfying agreement.
