Second, that many of the NDE resonances are in fact p -wave is reinforced by the behavior of the ν values from the ML analyses as functions of threshold, as shown in the right side of Fig. 5. In all three cases shown, ν systematically increases with threshold before gradually stabilizing. This is just the behavior expected for a population of s -wave resonances contam- inated by p -wave resonances. Similar fractions of previously identified p -wave resonances and trends in ν with threshold are seen for several of the other NDE nuclides.
