s- and p-wave neutron spectroscopy: Part VII. Widths of Neutron Resonances

Neutron reduced widths Γ_n⁰ and Γ_n¹ are reported for about 200 resonances observed in neutron total cross sections of Ca^{40, 44}, Ti⁴⁸, Cr^{50, 52, 54}, Fe^{54, 56}, Ni^{58, 60}, Sr⁸⁸, Y⁸⁹, Sn¹²⁴, Te¹³⁰, Ba^{136, 138}, and Pb^{206, 207, 208}, in the energy region 1 to 200 ^kev. Average parameters $\text{Γ}{}_{\mathrm{n}}{}^0$, $\text{Γ}{}_{\mathrm{n}}{}^0\text{D}$, and $\text{Γ}{}_{\mathrm{n}}{}^{\mathrm{(1)}}\text{D}$ have been derived and the Wigner distribution for local spacings and the Porter-Thomas distribution for reduced widths are verified for the resonances in the even-even nuclei Ca⁴⁰, Fe⁵⁶, Ni⁵⁸, and Ni⁶⁰. A simple method of area analysis which is less tedious and time consuming than the method reported before in Part III is also described.
