| Summary: | An attempt is made to interpret the ground state gamma radiation transitions due to thermal neutron capture in terms of the shell model of the nucleus. A new selection rule for magnetic multipole radiation is derived, which depends for its validity on the assumption that the orbital angular momentum of the individual particles is a good quantum number. It is found that the ground-state transitions are in general agreement with the shell models provided that the interaction between unpaired nucleons is taken into consideration. |
