The internal surrogate ratio method allows for the determination of an unknown cross section, such as (n,{gamma}), relative to a better-known cross section, such as (n,f), by measuring the relative exit-channel probabilities of a surrogate reaction that proceeds through the same compound nucleus. The validity of the internal surrogate ratio method is tested by comparing the relative gamma and fission exit-channel probabilities of a {sup 236}U* compound nucleus, formed in the {sup 235}U(d,p) reaction, to the known {sup 235}U(n,{gamma}) and (n,f) cross sections. A model-independent method for measuring the gamma-channel yield is presented and used
