Abstract
The thermal neutron capture gamma radiations for 51 V(n, g ) 52 V reaction have been studied at Dalat Nuclear Research Reactor (DNRR). The gamma two-step cascade transition was measured by event-event coincidence spectrometer. The added-neutron binding energy in 52 V was measured as 7.31 MeV. Energy and the intensity transition of cascades were consistent with prediction of single particle model. Furthermore, the spin and the parity of levels were confined.
