Energy levels in /sup 87/Kr have been studied, with special emphasis on the unbound region, using two different methods. The first method comprises neutron capture and transmission measurements on an enriched gas target of /sup 86/Kr using neutron time-of-flight techniques. In this way, neutron widths were determined for 39 resonances below 400 keV and capture areas for 14 resonances below 90 keV. The second method is a decay study of 56-s /sup 87/Br in which a level scheme for /sup 87/Kr has been established that shows 126 levels in the bound and 12 levels in the unbound region. A detailed comparison amongst the neutron resonance, the ..gamma..-ray decay, and available delayed neutron results has been made. Almost a one-to-one correspondence exists between the currently observed p-wave resonances below 250 keV and levels in /sup 87/Kr studied through delayed neutron emission. The overall ..beta..-strength distribution derived from the present data shows broad resonancelike structures. However, no marked selectivity is observed in the ..beta.. decay to individual levels in the unbound region of /sup 87/Kr. The neutron capture cross section of /sup 86/Kr is found to be about 5 mb for 30-keV neutrons with a Maxwellian energy distribution. The future of delayedmore » neutron spectroscopy as a new tool for obtaining level-density information is discussed.« less
