Abstract

The neutron capture cross-sections of124, 132, 134Xe have been measured by the activation technique at 25 keV neutron energy. These data were supplemented by calculated capture cross-sections for128, 129, 130, 131Xe via the statistical model. The complete set of capture cross-sections obtained in this way served to determine the solar xenon abundance throughs-process systematics and to study a variety of isotopic anomalies.
