Abstract

The advantages of using inelastic neutron scattering with detection of the emitted γ rays, i.e., the (n,n'γ) reaction, for exploring the structure of stable nuclei are reviewed. Examples of the information available with these techniques are provided and progress in understanding multiphonon excitations is described. The unique nuclear structure of ⁹⁴Zr is discussed.
