Abstract

A method to extract primary γ-ray spectra from particle-γ coincidences at excitation energies up to the neutron binding energy is described. From these spectra, the level density and γ-ray strength function can be determined. From the level density, several thermodynamical quantities are obtained within the microcanonical and canonical ensemble. Also models for the γ-ray strength function are discussed.
