With scintillation spectrometers, angular correlations have been measured of γ-radiation following thermal neutron capture in 35Cl. The following spins in 36Cl are determined: J(0.788) = 2 or 3, J(1.949) = 2, J(1.957) = 2, J(2.469) = 3. The latter three spin assignments are based on the assumption that the 2.469 → 1.949 MeV transition has El character. The capturing state is predominantly of J = 2 character.

The γ radition following thermal neutron capture in 32S was investigated with scintillation spectrometers. From γ-γ coincidence and angular correlation measurements the following spin assignments in 33S were derived: J(1.97) ≧ 3 2 , J(2.31) = 3 2 , J(4.21) = 3 2 , J(4.92) = 1 2 , 3 2 ), J(5.71) = 1 2 , J(5.89) = 3 2 , J(7.19) = 3 2 and J(7.41) = ( 1 2 , 3 2 ) . New transitions in the γ-ray decay were found, a few of which are of M1 character competing favourably with E1 radiation.
