On each plot, a filled circle indicates the location of L$_{max}$ , and a dashed horizontal line is drawn at ν = 1, the PTD value. 10 That the NDE is contaminated by p -wave resonances is evident from this figure in two ways and from Figs. 1 and 6. First, resonances in the NDE that have been identified (in Refs. [24, 30] and references contained therein) as p -wave or of uncertain parity are shown as open circles in Figs. 1 and 5. For example, in Ref. [31], 58 p -wave resonances in $^{232}$Th were assigned on the basis of γ -cascade information, 13 of which are in the NDE. One of these 13 resonances also is known [32, 33] to be p wave by its observed parity-violating asymmetry. Percentages of p -wave or unknown-parity resonances for NDE nuclides, as a function of mass number, are shown in Fig. 6. For over half (14/24) of the NDE nuclides analyzed herein, these resonances account for 5% or more of the total, for 10 of the 24 they are at least 10%, and in the three worst cases about 35%.
