Abstract
In this paper experiments are described that have led to the assignment of spins of a large number of - and -wave resonances in reactions of epithermal neutrons with the nuclei U and Cd. The gamma-ray spectra of the reactions have been measured using the time-of-flight technique at the GELINA pulsed neutron source facility. For the present spin determinations we have exploited the fact that the population through gamma radiation of low-lying nuclear states from the compound nucleus is dependent on the resonance spin. These assignments are important for the analysis of measurements of parity nonconservation in compound nuclei.
