Radiative decay of neutron resonances inGe73(n,γ)Ge74

$\gamma$ rays following neutron capture in natural germanium have been studied up to $E_n\approx 500$ eV with the fast chopper at the Brookhaven high flux beam reactor. Up to this energy only resonances in ${}_{}{}^{73}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ge}$ contribute. From the high-energy $\gamma$ rays observed, levels in ${}_{}{}^{74}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ge}$ are identified to an excitation energy of about 3 MeV. From the low-energy $\gamma$ rays depopulating the ${}_{}{}^{74}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ge}$ levels, spin assignments for several ${}_{}{}^{73}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ge}$ resonances are made; namely 102 eV, $J^{\pi }=4^{+}$; 204 eV, $J^{\pi }=5^{+}$; and 224 eV, $J^{\pi }=4^{+}$. The results of the resonance capture experiments are compared to previous "average-resonance" and thermal-capture work, and in general are found to be in good agreement. Average radiative strengths for $M1\mathrm{}$ and $E2\mathrm{}$ transitions are calculated and compared to model estimates.
