Angular correlations in neutron-gamma reactions

Abstract

Angular correlations for low-energy neutron induced $\gamma$ reactions are calculated using nuclear reaction formalism for multi level neutron capture with arbitrary multiplicities of $\gamma$ transitions. We confirm previous calculations [V. V. Flambaum and O. P. Sushkov, Nucl. Phys.A 435 , 352 (1985)] for dipole transitions obtained with different formalism. The possible applications of n-$\gamma$ correlations for studies of symmetry violations and electromagnetic transitions are discussed.
