  RESOLVED RESONANCES in MLBW                                     
    Resonance parameters are based on Mughabghab [Mu84].  In      
  addition, measurements by Georgiev [Ge92] were incorporated.    
  A bound level resonance was invoked to reproduce 2200 m/s       
  capture cross section Mughabghab [Mu84] and a bound coherent    
  scattering length of 19.08 fm [Ly90].                           
    Average radiative width of 78.5 meV was assigned to resonances
  for which widths had not been determined from measurements.     
    L that had not been determined from measurements was assigned 
  by applying Bayesian approach.                                  
    J that had not been determined from measurements was assigned 
     randomly.                                                    
    Effective scattering radius of 8.3 fm was adopted from        
  Mughabghab [Mu84].

   * Level spacing at the neutron separation energy of target+n.  
     Average level spacing and strength function for s-wave were  
  deduced from the fitting of reduced widths of resolved          
  resonances to the Porter-Thomas distribution.                   
     Strength function for p-wave was adopted from systematics,   
   [Mu84,Fig.4].                                                  
     Average radiative widths for s- and d-wave of 78.5 meV were  
   adopted from the resolved resonances region data.              
     Average radiative width for p-wave of 40 meV was adopted     
   from systematics [Mu84, Fig.7].                                
     Energy dependence of the level spacing was calculated        
   according to the Gilbert-Cameron's level density formula       
   with associated parameters from Mughabghab [Mu98].
