Nuclear level density and thermal properties of ^{115}Sn from neutron evaporation

The nuclear level density of ^{115}Sn has been measured in an excitation energy range of \sim 2 - 9 MeV using the experimental neutron evaporation spectra from the ^{115}In(p,n)^{115}Sn reaction. The experimental level densities were compared with the microscopic Hartree-Fock BCS (HFBCS), Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov plus combinatorial (HFB+C), and an exact pairing... Show more
