Abstract
The neutron energy-dependent angular distribution of rays from the reaction was measured with germanium detectors and a pulsed neutron beam. The angular distribution was clearly observed in -ray emissions with an energy of 9327 keV which corresponds to the transition from a neutron resonance of to the ground state of . The angular distribution causes an angular-dependent asymmetric resonance shape. An asymmetry was defined as , where and are integrated values for lower- and higher-energy regions of a neutron resonance, respectively. We found that the has the angular dependence of , where is the -ray emission angle with respect to the incident neutron momentum, with and in the 1.33 eV -wave resonance.
