Abstract: The radiative capture cross section at thermal neutron energy in 40Ca, 410mb, is much higher than that expected by the statistical theory as well as by the direct capture theory. This study shows that this is a result of the constructive interference between potential capture and valence capture. By using the Becchettic-Greenless optical model potential[7] and in-cluding the interference effect, the thermal neutron induced radiative capture cross section and scattering cross section in 40Ca were calculated and compared with measured data.
